CARING

CARING (Children At Risk: Intervention for a New Generation) at Columbia is a unit within the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. CARING's three-fold mission is service, research, and training in mental health promotion and illness prevention for children and adolescents. CARING uses a community-oriented, culturally competent, small group based, arts and education model. CARING aims to replicate this unique model across a diverse spectrum of geographic, cultural, clinical, and academic settings. CARING's goals are to support psychological development, enhance resilience, and provide coping skills for at-risk youth. At CARING, child psychiatry residents, art therapists, artists, and other mental health professionals work directly with children in their schools and communities... We are dedicated to cultivating relationships with grateful patients, alumni, donors, and partners to advance the mission of Columbia..
