About Center for Childhood Resilience

At the Center for Childhood Resilience at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, we know that all kids should have access to adults who can address their mental health needs. This is why we promote equitable mental health and wellness where kids live, learn, and play. Since 2004, through prevention, promotion, and intervention, Center for Childhood Resilience has worked to build the skills of adults to foster resilience in the face of adversity. We engage schools, school districts, and other youth-serving organizations, using a public health approach to address the impact of trauma and promote mental health and wellness. 

Our vision is that every child in every community is safe, supported, resilient, and thriving.
