Center for Mental Health Promotion
​
The Center for Mental Health Promotion was founded in 1995 with the broad mission of exploring ways of promoting mental health in children and families. Research has shown that contingent, responsive parenting can lead to the most favorable outcomes for children in terms of their cognitive, emotional, social, and physical health.
