Yale Child Study Center Open House
All in the Yale and YNHHS communities, in addition to area community providers, are welcome to stop by (or stay!) at the second annual open house at the 350 George Street location of Yale Child Study Center (YCSC).
Learn about the broad array of services, research, and general expertise across YCSC missions—and explore some of the clinical, community, policy, research, and model development work of the center, which serves as the department of child psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine. Along with shared knowledge, there will be food and fun.
RSVPs are requested but not required and attendees are welcome to come any time between 9:30-11:30. This year's schedule for our flash talks is included below. Questions may be sent via e-mail to childstudycenter@yale.edu.
