Supporting Research

Your support is essential to the success of this cutting-edge research program.

The development of a pre-eminent research program whose scientific achievements and applied discoveries in prevention and treatment enhance the mental health of children is the primary goal of the Child & Family Program at the Menninger Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine.

Menninger's relationship with an internationally recognized medical center, a strong research center and a top-ranked medical school, allows us to be at the forefront of behavioral and psychiatric research as we move forward in the 21st century.

The Menninger Child & Family Program is leading an international research consortium that includes Baylor College of Medicine, University College London/the Anna Freud Centre, and the Yale Child Study Center. This combination of prestige and clinical and intellectual talent is unrivalled.

Research is focused on understanding the mechanisms that make resilience, healing and effective adaptation possible. New research projects unite the high technology of human neuroimaging with Menninger's expertise and comprehensive collection of research data in the behavioral sciences. This partnership of research psychiatry and behavioral sciences is moving toward greater understanding of physical and genetic factors of complex or recurring psychiatric and brain disorders.
