The Child Mind Institute is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health or learning disorders by getting them the help they need.

That’s why we created Connect to Care, a set of free resources designed to help you through the process of getting care for your child. From the first phone call to the final treatment session, you’ll find practical guidance to help your child thrive.
