Image "Striving for Excellence - To be a national leader in child & adolescent mental health care."

In partnership with others in our community, the Department of Psychiatry at Children's Hospital Boston has the mission to provide excellence and leadership in clinical care, education, research and mental health advocacy for children and their families.

We strongly believe in providing mental health services that emphasize:

  • family-centered care
  • increased accessibility
  • established practice parameters
  • outcome assessment
  • culturally competent care
  • community-based partnerships
We respond to a variety of emotional disorders with a focus on coping with physical illnesses, neurobehavioral disorders and mood disorders. We stress accountability and quality in our training programs and support collaborative research.
