YES!  Despite COVID-19, we still are conducting evaluations!

And we need your help to better understand how children’s brains develop.

Our community-based research is looking for the biological roots of childhood mental illness. Together, we can help millions of struggling kids. Families with children and adolescents ages 5-21 — with and without psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders — are eligible to receive a no-cost, comprehensive evaluation through the Healthy Brain Network.  See what participation involves.

Benefits

Each participating family will receive:

• A comprehensive mental health and learning assessment, including evaluations of physical activity, cognition and mental health symptoms — at no cost. View the assessment list or see how our evaluation compares to a Neuropsychological to get a sense for how comprehensive it is.
• A consultation with a licensed clinician, including a discussion of the results of the mental health and learning assessment — at no cost.
• Local referrals through the HBN Referral Network and treatment recommendations, when appropriate.
• A feedback report detailing results that can be used to inform treatment and classroom instruction (504 plan/IEP).
• Up to $150 compensation for their time.

Participate
