We provide mental health care, training, and research that is:

  • Evidence-based
  • Quality-driven

We respond to children and adolescents facing disabling troubles with depression, anxiety, inattention, and oppositional behaviors as well as those adjusting to stressful and traumatic events. We have particular expertise in responding to youngsters coping with physical illnesses.

We are committed to developing and implementing innovative preventive interventions that promote and maintain health and wellness in children and their families.
