Child & Adolescent PsychiatryWelcome to the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry!
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is an exciting, challenging and rewarding area of medicine. Child Psychiatrists work to improve the mental and emotional well-being of children, adolescents and their families. Compared to adult psychiatry, child psychiatrists work more comprehensively with the 'system' (e.g. parents, siblings, teachers, social workers, etc), and not just the child.
