Every child is different and has their own story. When a child does not seem like themselves, is in crisis, or may be a danger to themselves or others, they need help from well trained professionals.
At CHA, we want children and their families to have the best chance of success. We are a Harvard Teaching Hospital that provides caring support for a wide range of mental health needs.
Our mission is to promote the emotional healing of the children and families in our communities through:
- Excellence in compassionate and sustainable mental health care
- Attention to meeting the needs of diverse, underserved populations
- Partnership with families, communities, and colleagues
- Research, innovation, and teaching of best practice care
The new Center for Inpatient Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
In June 2022, CHA opened a new inpatient center for youth with acute behavioral health needs.
Located in Somerville, the beautiful new facility offers care for children 3-12, adolescents 13-17, and children with neuro-developmental disorders.
