Yes! You may have known us as our previous name, Judge Baker Children's Center. As of May 2022, we have officially rebranded as The Baker Center for Children & Families.

Our direct services are strongly shaped by the most current research.  This research also informs our community training and the training of advanced degree mental health professionals.

We are unique in our integration of research, training, and practice.  As a leader in the field of children's mental health, we can facilitate deep connections between stakeholders, including:

• Advocates
• Researchers
• Families

Because we have a wide range of thought leadership and expertise, we can approach challenges from multiple perspectives, helping to find the best and most appropriate solutions for each individual child.

Your support allows children and their families who are struggling with emotional and behavioral issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, get the help they need.  Through your generosity, our work helps children grappling with adult-sized problems get back their childhood.

Gifts of all sizes support our research and treatment for struggling youth. If you would like to designate your gift to a specific program or cause, we’re happy to accommodate. Alternatively, unspecified gifts will be directed where support is needed most.

We are an affiliate organization of Harvard Medical School, which means that many of our researchers, especially our senior scientists, have faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School. However, we receive no funding from, and are an independent organization from, Harvard Medical School.
