Bridge to better children’s behavioral health
We empower policymakers, champion providers, and spark partnerships to ensure all children will grow up healthy and thrive.
CHDI can help
Evidence-based Practices
We expand access to high-quality behavioral health care by identifying and disseminating evidence-based practices and supporting their delivery in real-world settings.
School Mental Health
We help schools and districts improve student mental health and well-being by building their capacity to prevent, identify, and address trauma and behavioral health concerns.
Quality Improvement
We help ensure children’s behavioral health programs and services work as intended and operate with a continual focus on improving access, quality, and outcomes.
Systems & Policy
We bring together government, youth and family, provider, school, community, and research partners to identify system challenges and advance research-based solutions that improve care.
