YES!  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 Healthy Brain Network participation involves.

Not old enough for the Healthy Brain Network yet or looking for more than just an evaluation? Our efforts to understand how children’s brains develop go beyond the Healthy Brain Network. Check out our other ongoing studies.

 

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.

  • Local referrals through the HBN Referral Network and treatment recommendations, when appropriate.
