The NYU Child Study Center is committed to improving the treatment of child psychiatric disorders through research, clinical care, and education.

Research

The Child Study Center's research program is made up of seven institutes, which work to advance the scientific knowledge, prevention, and treatment of critical mental health problems facing children and adolescents. These institutes and their associated programs include:

Clinical Care

These institutes integrate research with state of the art clinical services, operating under the main clinical arm, Child and Family Associates. Award-winning clinicians provide assessment and a wide range of services for children and their families. These include individual and group therapy, parenting training, medication treatment, and a number of specialized programs.

Education

Through our professional education programs, we provide physicians, educators and mental health professionals the tools and knowledge needed to promote the mental health of the children they serve. Our advanced training programs provide top training for the leading researchers and clinicians of tomorrow. Through public awareness campaigns, we bring attention to children's mental health needs and work to eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness.
