The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry exemplifies the three-part mission of OHSU: healing, teaching and discovery.

HEALING: The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic located on the seventh floor of Doernbecher Children's Hospital provides care and consultation for the full range of childhood mental health disorders. The Children's Psychiatric Day Treatment Center, located off campus in nearby Beaverton, offers an interdisciplinary milieu for treatment of severely disturbed children aged 3 to 7 years five days a week, year round.

TEACHING: The division's Training Program draws upon the many multi-disciplinary educational resources of OHSU and diverse health care environments in the community to prepare medical students, general psychiatry residents, and fellows in child and adolescent psychiatry for private and/or group practice.

DISCOVERY: OHSU child psychiatrists are involved in numerous funded research studies, including an adolescent suicide prevention project in collaboration with the department of pediatrics, cross-cultural research to improve treatment for children suffering from post- traumatic stress disorder with the Intercultural Fly Back Psychiatric Program, and an exploration of the effects of melatonin in children and adolescents with the OHSU Sleep Research Laboratory.
