The Healthy Brain Network offers families the opportunity to have a no-cost comprehensive mental health and learning evaluation for children ages 5–21 years old.  You can learn more about that evaluation elsewhere on this site.

But what if your child is too young for the program, or you have other concerns you hope to address? The Child Mind Institute and our collaborators also offer families other research options and resources for comprehensive testing or treatment! You can see options and learn what benefits they provide below.

 

HEALTHY BRAIN NETWORK SUB-STUDIES FOR HEALTHY BRAIN NETWORK FAMILIES

EDUCATE study

Children who are aged 6–11 and are struggling with reading or math may qualify to be part of the Healthy Brain Network + EDUCATE combined program. This combined program offers these children 12 weeks of at-home reading and math skill-building computer games in addition to the same comprehensive evaluation offered by the Healthy Brain Network program — all at no cost.

Rhythms & Blues (R&B) Study

Participating families receive quarterly reports on their child’s sleep and activity patterns. They also get access to live webinars on mental health, physical health, and sleep hygiene hosted by experts from the National Institute of Mental Health. Find out more about the R&B Study.
