Welcome

The Center for Excellence in Children's Mental Health (CECMH) works closely with University of Minnesota research experts, community providers, and policy makers to improve mental health practice for Minnesota's children.

Our mission is reflected in:

• the annual Lessons from the Field seminar series showcasing current research and its practical application,
• the online Children’s Mental Health eReview publication, which combines current research and ideas for application in practice and policy,
• research activities that promote public engagement by connecting faculty and providers,
• a searchable database of University of Minnesota resources, including faculty and staff members, educational programs, centers, and departments.
