SCIENCE AND INNOVATION: The Child Mind Institute (CMI) has a science and innovation mission that underscores the transformative power of collaborative research in the field of child mental health. The Center for the Developing Brain (CDB) at the CMI is dedicated to accelerating the pace of scientific advancement for child mental health through the conduct and promotion of high impact research focused on the developing brain and mental illness. The CDB actively works to innovate models of the neural underpinnings of mental illness, as well as the methodologies employed by investigators to examine them. Additionally, the CDB spearheads a large-scale "open science" initiative that serves to demonstrate the feasibility and value of open data-sharing in the brain imaging community. Known as the "International Neuroimaging Data-sharing Initiative (INDI)", this effort has proven to be a game-changer, giving researchers who once struggled to obtain a few dozen datasets for their work, access to thousands of datasets from clinical and nonclinical populations. CHILD MIND INSTITUTE ENDEAVOR SCIENTIST PROGRAM - THE ENDEAVOR SCIENTIST PROGRAM IS A PIONEERING EFFORT LAUNCHED BY THE CHILD MIND INSTITUTE TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TALENTED, MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENTISTS IN RESEARCH POSITIONS AT ACADEMIC AND MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE GLOBE. RECRUITED FROM VARIOUS FIELDS SUCH AS COMPUTER SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS, AND STATISTICS; THESE SCIENTISTS WILL COLLABORATE ON RESEARCH THAT PURSUES A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. BRINGING DIVERSE THINKERS TOGETHER WILL BRING US CLOSER TO DEVELOPING BETTER INTERVENTIONS, AND EVENTUALLY PREVENTATIVE MEASURES, FOR PSYCHIATRIC AND LEARNING DISORDERS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. HEALTHY BRAIN NETWORK - The Health Brain Network is the Child Mind Institute's unprecedented initiative to collect and share data from developing children with the best research minds all over the world. The initiative will be launched with imaging and other data from 10,000 young people in the New York metropolitan area. By sharing the information with the global scientific community, we will capture the attention of interdisciplinary researchers, who may never before have studied this type of data, putting child psychiatry at the forefront of scientific inquiry and discovery. Ultimately research from the Healthy Brain Network will lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of childhood mental illness. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COUNCIL - COMPRISED OF 13 OF THE NATION'S TOP CHILD MENTAL HEALTH SCIENTISTS FROM 10 OF THE LEADING ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COUNCIL BRINGS TOGETHER BASIC SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCH CLINICIANS TO CREATE A GLOBAL INCUBATOR FOR COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH IN CHILD MENTAL HEALTH. FUNCTIONING AS A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL SCIENTIFIC THINK-TANK, THE COUNCIL INCLUDES DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS IN THE FIELD OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY, PSYCHOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE, AND NEUROLOGY, AND EXPERTS IN ANXIETY AND MOOD DISORDERS, ATTENTION-DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER, AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS, AND EATING DISORDERS. Stress and Resilience program (new Program)- In 2013, the Child Mind Institute's Stress and Resilience Program provided trauma response services to more than 100 New York City public elementary, intermediate and high schools, as well as children's mental health clinics, serving thousands of students in the NYC neighborhoods. Our services focused on providing psychoeducational workshops, school-based trauma interventions, and consultation to communities affected by Superstorm Sandy, as well as NYC public schools. The overall purpose of the Stress and Resilience Program is to promote healthy child development and resilience, and prevent serious, trauma-related psychological difficulties among children and adolescents. Our goals are to: 1) increase awareness of children's mental health issues, specifically risks related to traumatic events, 2) reduce exposure to stressful/traum

Activity 3

ACCESS TO CLINICAL CARE: THE CHILD MIND INSTITUTE AIMS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO CHILDREN, TEENS, AND FAMILIES TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO THE CLINICAL CARE THEY NEED TO LIVE HEALTHY, FULFILLING LIVES. FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM - THE CHILD MIND INSTITUTE LAUNCHED ITS FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM IN AN EFFORT TO HELP CHILDREN AND FAMILIES RECEIVE CARE AND TREATMENT, REGARDLESS OF ECONOMIC STANDING, BY CLINICIANS AT THE CHILD MIND MEDICAL PRACTICE, A MEDICAL PRACTICE FORMED TO SUPPORT THE CLINICAL MISSION OF THE CHILD MIND INSTITUTE. MODELED AFTER GUIDELINES SIMILAR TO THOSE ADOPTED BY DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) PROGRAMS, THE FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM OFFERS ELIGIBLE FAMILIES A FEE DISCOUNT BETWEEN 30% AND 70% OF THE COST OF SERVICES. IT IS DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS PATIENTS FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES TO QUALIFY, WHILE ALSO ACCOMMODATING FAMILIES WITH HIGHER THAN AVERAGE INCOME, WHO HAVE OTHER FINANCIAL STRAINS, SUCH AS CHILDREN IN COLLEGE OR OTHER MEDICAL BILLS. SINCE 2011, the Child Mind Institute HAS RAISED A CUMULATIVE TOTAL OF $911,800 FOR FINANCIAL AID. THE CHILD MIND MEDICAL PRACTICE CLINICIANS MATCH THE DONATED SERVICES ON A DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR BASIS. THIS ENABLED THE PRACTICE TO OFFER FINANCIAL AID WORTH $1,823,600. THIS PAST YEAR ALONE, THE CLINICIANS PROVIDED CLINICAL CARE WORTH APPROXIMATELY $582,000 IN FINANCIAL AID.
