Child Mind Institute

At a time of rapid change, young people face a myriad of pressures, from loneliness and bullying to the influence of social media and artificial intelligence. How are these factors reshaping their views on mental health? And what about their parents? A new intergenerational study from the Child Mind Institute reveals a complex picture: While parents and youth share many common concerns, they often see mental health stressors through very different lenses. Join us on October 7th to discuss key findings from this study: https://cvent.me/rm35EQ? rt=eOxGxL_efki8_Kn1uJ8_og

In the most recent episode of our Thriving Kids Podcast, Dr. Dave Anderson and Katie Peinovich, LCSW, share compassionate guidance for helping children navigate grief with honesty and care. Listen or watch wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnkd.in/e49usrMT Thriving Kids is a podcast for parents and caregivers who want clear, honest answers about child and adolescent mental health. Hosted by Dr. Dave Anderson, clinical psychologist at the Child Mind Institute, each episode tackles a common parenting challenge — from anxiety to tantrums to school struggles — with practical strategies backed by science.

Back-to-school can feel like a scheduling marathon. On Good Morning America, Dr. Dave Anderson shared a simple checklist parents can use to spot when kids are overwhelmed, and how to keep life in balance:   ✔️ Prioritize sleep ✔️ Daily movement ✔️ Regular meals ✔️ Homework time ✔️ Family + friend connections ✔️ At least one extracurricular activity   If those boxes are checked, you can feel confident you’re covering the essentials—and scale back on the rest.

Yuki Kotani, MBA and Ally Herrnson will be at the Wellness Together Conference next week, representing the Child Mind Institute’s science team. They can share more about the technology and programming we’re supporting to help move mental health care forward. Come stop by their table!

We are proud to honor Dr. Matthew Nock, winner of the 2025 Sarah Gund Prize and a MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient, whose pioneering research has redefined our understanding of suicide and self-harm — and is creating new opportunities to use AI and digital tools to spot warning signs sooner and respond more effectively. Joining him are his distinguished protégés: Dr. Christine Cha from Yale School of Medicine, and Dr. Ilana Gratch, from Weill Cornell Medicine. Former NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan will lead a roundtable discussion examining the promise and challenges of turning these breakthroughs into life-saving solutions that reach every family and community.
