Media Center
Research-based information, resources, and solutions to help the media report on children's behavioral health
A credible and neutral source for information on children's behavioral health
Over the past two decades, our research, publications, staff, and leadership team have become trusted resources for reporters covering children's behavioral health systems, policy, and practice innovations - in Connecticut and beyond.
Resources for the Media
CHDI's experts can provide journalists with background information and insights into children's behavioral health issues, systems, policies, and practices in Connecticut and beyond. Our team's particular areas of expertise include:
- School mental health systems, policies, and programs
- Mobile and Urgent Crisis response systems, policies, and services
- System development and integration (Systems of Care)
- Behavioral health workforce development
- Evidence-based treatments and implementation science
- Screening for child trauma and substance use
- Data analysis and quality improvement
- Child trauma and early childhood development
While we're based in and do much of our work in Connecticut, our team frequently consults with other states - including TX, NV, MN, OR, LA, CA, and many others - to share our expertise.
CHDI regularly publishes issue briefs, policy briefs, reports, analysis, fact sheets, and other products on topics related to our areas of expertise to help bridge the gaps between research, policy, and practice in children's behavioral health - and inform the public.
