The Child Mind Institute is the only independent non profit institution in United States, that's exclusively dedicated to children's mental health. We are truly dedicated to trying to find better treatments, more effective treatments and simultaneously committed to understanding healthy brain development and by doing that, we are really investing in big data and open science.
So we are collaborating now with scientists in 2000 different cities in 84 countries and six continents to try to find a bio marker between a kid who doesn't have a disorder to a child who has a specific disorder verses a child who has another specific disorder, unless we are truly interested in educating the public about how real common and treatable child and adolescent mental disorders.
Harold Koplewicz is founding President of the Child Mind Institute. He is a strong advocate for child mental health and one of the nation's leading child and adolescent psychiatrists.
