UCLA CARES Center educates people about childhood and adolescent anxiety.
Services Provided
The UCLA CARES Center strives to reduce the burden of childhood anxiety and enhance family and community resilience. We do this through projects and resources targeting these five focus areas: Education and Prevention; Professional Training; Innovation; Research; Public Awareness and Advocacy.
Who We Serve
We work with children and teens, young adults, families, educators and school staff, therapists and child advocates, physicians and nurses. We collaborate with policymakers, healthcare systems, and grassroots nonprofits working to improve the lives of children and families in our communities.
Mission and Goals
The UCLA CARES Center shares evidence-based practices and education about childhood and adolescent anxiety with kids, families, teachers, pediatricians, therapists, and anyone living with or working with youth. Our mission is to equip communities to recognize anxiety and prevent it from impeding a child’s social, academic, and personal development.
