Center for Childhood Resilience

Center for Childhood Resilience (CCR) is the public health arm of the Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Lurie Children's. Our diverse multidisciplinary team increases access to the mental health supports young people need by educating and building support capacity for the adults and caregivers in children’s lives.

Launched in 2004, CCR works in the communities where kids live, learn and play to support their social, emotional and mental well-being. Through evidence-informed programs and practices and other innovative, sustainable strategies, we strive to promote equity and reduce disparities.
