Home page for Yale Child Study Center
Welcome to the Child Study Center. Since 1911, the Center has been serving children and families from birth through adolescence. At our core is the mission to improve the lives of children and families through research, service, and training.
We serve many roles. We are the Department of Child Psychiatry for the Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital. We are also a center for basic neurodevelopment research on the earliest neurodevelopment and behavioral problems troubling children. We are engaged in our community with many clinical services in clinic and community settings as well as in homes and pediatric practices.
Our faculty are engaged in shaping policies that impact children and families both domestically and internationally. Our educational efforts include professional trainings in child psychiatry, social work, and child psychology as well as trainings in research, specific intervention and prevention approaches, and in special areas of children’s mental health.
The Center is actively growing in many areas from basic research in the genetic and neurobiological basis of childhood psychiatric disorders, to training clinicians around the world in state of the art mental health service delivery.
Our commitment is to continual improvement in what we do for children and families and in learning from all that we do so as to inform that growth and improvement. Thank you for visiting our site and your interest in the work of the Child Study Center.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) is to shape 21st-century learning opportunities so that all children and youth thrive. Central to our work are addressing issues of access and equity in learning, and advancing family and community engagement practices that reinforce success for all children.
WORK
Since it was founded in 1983, HFRP has served as a national platform for forward-thinking perspectives on family and community engagement research, practices, policies, and strategies. Our work in family engagement focuses on developing frameworks and tools to promote involvement from early childhood through young adulthood—anywhere, anytime children learn—in the home, in school, and in community settings. Our community engagement efforts concentrate on building the quality, accessibility, and sustainability of learning environments outside of school, including early childhood and afterschool programs. Areas of expertise include research and documentation, evaluation, professional development, and technical assistance.
VISION
Our vision is of a society where many rich opportunities are available for anywhere, anytime learning for all children and youth, whether it takes place in the home, in school, or in community settings, or through online and off-line experiences.
ROLE
Through documentation, research, and dialogue, we broker ideas and innovative practices among policymakers, practitioners, and community leaders in order to inspire action about anywhere, anytime learning opportunities. Our role is to shape a national conversation about these opportunities and through strategic partnerships, build momentum for strong policy and program supports for learning across multiple settings.
Our goal is to build stronger and more effective health and mental health systems that result in better outcomes for all children in Connecticut, especially the underserved.
We accomplish this through research, evaluation, training and technical assistance and support for demonstration projects that inform system change.
Together with our parent organization, the Children’s Fund of Connecticut, CHDI:
CHDI works in close partnership with the state’s leading medical schools, children’s hospitals, policymakers, state agencies, child-serving organizations and advocates to achieve our goals
