PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACHCMI HAS A PUBLIC EDUCATION MISSION TO PROVIDE AUTHORITATIVE, SCIENCE-BASED INFORMATION AND RESOURCES ABOUT CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH TO PARENTS, EDUCATORS, AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.CHILDMIND.ORG - CMI'S WEB SITE CONTAINS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION, NEWS, ADVICE, AND STRATEGIES FOR PARENTS, EDUCATORS, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS DEALING WITH PSYCHIATRIC AND LEARNING DISORDERS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. CHILDMIND.ORG HAS PARTNERED WITH DOZENS OF OTHER SITES AND BLOGS TO SHARE CONTENT AND ENLARGE THE FOOTPRINT OF THE ARTICLES AND RESOURCES WE HAVE CREATED, AND A ROBUST SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN USES TOOLS LIKE FACEBOOK AND TWITTER TO SPREAD THE WORD. PARENT AND EDUCATOR WORKSHOPS ON CLINICAL TOPICS - THE PARENT AND EDUCATOR WORKSHOPS COVER A RANGE OF ISSUES AFFECTING CHILDREN, INCLUDING SELECTIVE MUTISM, ADHD, OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER, AND OTHERS. THESE EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND OTHER CARING PROFESSIONALS TO GAIN NEW KNOWLEDGE, INSIGHTS AND SKILLS TO IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO PARENT AND NURTURE CHILDREN WITH THESE DISORDERS AND HELP THEM THRIVE.SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS- THE CHILD MIND INSTITUTE'S SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS DELIVER MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT TO STUDENTS, CAREGIVERS, EDUCATORS, AND COUNSELORS. BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS TO CARE, OUR PROGRAMS BRING A SUITE OF EVIDENCE-BASED SERVICES TO PREVENT AND TREAT STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS IN SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS, INCLUDING A K-12 MENTAL HEALTH SKILL-BUILDING CURRICULUM, WORKSHOPS FOR CAREGIVERS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EDUCATORS, AND EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT DELIVERED IN SCHOOL OR COMMUNITY SETTINGS TO CHILDREN AND TEENS STRUGGLING WITH POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS, BEHAVIOR, ATTENTIONAL, MOOD, OR LEARNING DISORDERS. OUR TEAM ALSO PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FOR EDUCATORS AND COMMUNITY-BASED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN NEW YORK, SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE CAPACITY BUILDING AND ONGOING SUPPORT IN DISTRICTS WHERE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES MAY BE LESS AVAILABLE OR MORE DIFFICULT TO ACCESS. THE HEALTHY MINDS, THRIVING KIDS PROJECT (HMTK), FUNDED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, SET OUT TO GIVE EVERY EDUCATOR AND CAREGIVER IN THE STATE (AND BEYOND) A SET OF FREE RESOURCES THEY COULD USE TO TEACH CHILDREN A SET OF EVIDENCE-BASED PREVENTATIVE MENTAL HEALTH SKILLS. AT ITS CORE IS A SERIES OF FIVE KEY SKILL-BUILDING VIDEOS, CREATED FROM THE GROUND UP IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, IN THREE AGE VERSIONS, ALONG WITH INTRODUCTORY VIDEOS IN BOTH LANGUAGES FOR EDUCATORS AND CAREGIVERS FOR A TOTAL OF 34 VIDEOS AND ACCOMPANYING IMPLEMENTATION GUIDES AND SKILL SHEETS. AWARENESS OF THESE RESOURCES WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE PAID DIGITAL PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN. ADDITIONALLY, AN INCENTIVE PLAN OFFERED EDUCATORS $100 AWARDS FOR SAMPLING PROJECT MATERIALS AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK. THEIR SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE INCENTIVIZED TO PROMOTE THE PROJECT VIA MATCHING DONORSCHOOSE CREDITS. AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH FIRM WAS ENGAGED TO ASSESS RESOURCE QUALITY AND IMPLEMENTATION. ALTOGETHER, HMTK ATTRACTED 72,500 CALIFORNIA EDUCATORS AND REACHED OVER 1.8 MILLION CHILDREN WITHIN ITS FIRST 9 MONTHS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2021 – Sep 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$21.4MChildren's Mental Health Innovation
SCIENCE AND INNOVATIONCMI HAS A SCIENCE AND INNOVATION MISSION THAT STRIVES TO CREATE A WORLD WHERE EVERY CHILD HAS ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE THAT IS EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE, AND PERSONALIZED. TIMELY, ACCURATE DIAGNOSES AND EFFICIENT INTERVENTIONS ARE CENTRAL TO THE CMI VISION. AS SUCH, OUR MISSION IS TO ACCELERATE THE PACE OF SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION AND DISCOVERY IN CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH AND LEARNING. WE ARE COMMITTED TO DEMOCRATIZING INQUIRY BY MAKING TOOLS AND DATA FREELY AVAILABLE TO THE GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. THIS HELPS TO FOSTER COLLABORATIONS THAT CAN TEST, IMPROVE UPON, AND ADOPT INNOVATIVE OPEN SOLUTIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERY CHILD.ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS - EACH YEAR, CMI'S SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COUNCIL SELECTS A SCIENTIST TO RECEIVE THE DISTINGUISHED SCIENTIST AWARD FOR HIS OR HER LIFETIME OF RESEARCH AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELDS OF CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROSCIENCE. AT THE ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS SYMPOSIUM, THE AWARDEE IS A FEATURED SPEAKER, ALONG WITH TWO GENERATIONS OF HIS OR HER PROTEGES.CENTER FOR THE DEVELOPING BRAIN - PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS IS LIMITED BY A LACK OF OBJECTIVE TOOLS FOR ASSESSING SYMPTOMS AND BEHAVIORS. THE CENTER LEADS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY EFFORT TO REDEFINE DIAGNOSIS BASED ON UNDERLYING NEUROBIOLOGY, LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF BETTER DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS. WE USE ADVANCED EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES TO DETERMINE HOW BRAIN FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE DIFFER AMONG INDIVIDUALS AND ARE IMPACTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS ACROSS DEVELOPMENT. CENTRAL TO OUR OPEN SCIENCE AGENDA, THE CENTER HOUSES THE INTERNATIONAL NEUROIMAGING DATA-SHARING INITIATIVE (INDI), WHICH HAS SERVED AS A FLAGSHIP FOR OPEN SCIENCE IN THE BRAIN IMAGING COMMUNITY AND LED TO THE GENERATION OF MORE THAN 1000 PUBLICATIONS BY AUTHORS AROUND THE WORLD.COMPUTATIONAL NEUROIMAGING LABORATORY - ACCELERATING THE PACE OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT INNOVATION IN THE ANALYSIS METHODS EMPLOYED BY SCIENTISTS. THE LABORATORY IS BUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY BY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY, SCALABLE, AND REPRODUCIBLE TURNKEY SOLUTIONS TO COMPUTATIONAL CHALLENGES IN IMAGE PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS. WIDESPREAD ACCESS WILL ENABLE SCIENTISTS EVERYWHERE TO DEPLOY LARGE-SCALE ANALYSES WITHOUT EXTENSIVE EXPERTISE. ALL SOFTWARE GENERATED IS OPENLY SHARED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE.HEALTHY BRAIN NETWORK - THE HEALTHY BRAIN NETWORK (HBN) IS AN INNOVATIVE NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAM AIMED AT BUILDING THE LARGEST, MOST COMPREHENSIVE DATA RESOURCE FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND SHARING THE DATA WITH SCIENTISTS GLOBALLY. THROUGH A PROVEN BIG DATA AND OPEN SCIENCE PARADIGM, WE EXPECT THAT THIS INITIATIVE WILL SPUR THE DISCOVERY OF BRAIN-BASED BIOMARKERS OF PSYCHIATRIC AND LEARNING DISORDERS. CMI EXPECTS THAT THE RESEARCH WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF OBJECTIVE CLINICAL TOOLS FOR MENTAL HEALTH PRACTITIONERS TO PROVIDE MORE ACCURATE DIAGNOSES AND TREATMENT PROTOCOLS FOR STRUGGLING CHILDREN. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COUNCIL - SELECTED FROM AMONG THE NATION'S TOP CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH SCIENTISTS, THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COUNCIL BRINGS TOGETHER SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCH CLINICIANS TO CREATE A GLOBAL INCUBATOR FOR COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH IN CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH. FUNCTIONING AS A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL SCIENTIFIC THINK-TANK, THE COUNCIL INCLUDES DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS IN THE FIELDS OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY, PSYCHOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE, AND NEUROLOGY, AND EXPERTS IN ANXIETY AND MOOD DISORDERS, ADHD, AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS, AND EATING DISORDERS.MATTER LAB - THE MATTER ("MENTAL ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR THERAPY, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH") LAB IS DEVELOPING WEARABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND MOBILE APPS THAT HELP GATHER REAL-WORLD DATA USEFUL FOR SCIENTISTS STUDYING MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, AND CREATING ROBUST RESEARCH PROTOCOLS SO DATA IS OF HIGH QUALITY AND DEPENDABLE. THIS DATA ON ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS, MOVEMENT AND BEHAVIOR TRACKING CAN POTENTIALLY BE USED TO ALERT YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES TO THE ONSET OF SYMPTOMATIC BEHAVIORS.THE LAB IS ALSO WORKING ON A DATABASE THAT EVALUATES THE RESEARCH SUPPORT FOR APPS AND MATCHES THEM TO THE BEHAVIORS AND SYMPTOMS THEY CAN HELP. THE HOPE IS THAT LARGE-SCALE, STANDARDIZED DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS WILL LEAD TO SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL MOBILE TOOLS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND EVALUATION.AUTISM CENTER - THE AUTISM CENTER IS AN INTEGRATED RESEARCH LAB FOCUSED ON UNDERSTANDING THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER USING BRAIN IMAGING AND A RANGE OF OTHER CLINICAL AND COGNITIVE APPROACHES. A SPECIFIC GOAL OF THE CENTER IS DETECTING AUTISM-RELATED DIFFERENCES IN BRAIN CONNECTIVITY THAT EMERGE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD, WITH THE GOAL OF IDENTIFYING OBJECTIVE BIOLOGICAL MARKERS THAT CAN ONE DAY BE USED TO IMPROVE EARLY INTERVENTION EFFORTS AND THE SELECTION OF TREATMENTS. CONSISTENT WITH OUR OPEN SCIENCE PHILOSOPHY, THE CENTER HOUSES THE AUTISM BRAIN IMAGING DATA EXCHANGE, WHICH REPRESENTS THE LARGEST OPEN REPOSITORY FOR AUTISM BRAIN IMAGING DATA IN THE WORLD.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2021 – Sep 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$11MAccess to Clinical Care for Families
