Care Clinic at the Center for Families, Department of Pediatrics, UMB

Description: The goal of the Care Clinic is to provide optimal mental health treatment for children and families affected by physical or sexual abuse, or exposure to domestic violence. Treatment is provided by an interdisciplinary team from psychology, psychiatry, and pediatric medicine. We collaborate closely with community groups such as Baltimore City Department of Social Services, domestic violence shelters, and schools. Families are referred, provided a clinical evaluation, and then offered individual, family, or group therapy, along with advocacy and psychiatry services. In addition, Care Clinic clinicians provide training to on-campus and local agencies and community groups on the impact of child abuse and domestic violence as well as effective interventions for these issues. Finally, the Care Clinic has several opportunities for training for graduate level students in the fields of psychology and pediatrics.
