Institute for Juvenile Research
www.psych.uic.edu/institutes/ijr.htm
For nearly a century, the Institute for Juvenile Research (IJR) has been a leading force in providing a broad range of innovative mental health services to children, adolescents and their families, as well as rich grounds for research in prevention and intervention, and clinical experiences for trainees in the fields of child psychiatry and child psychology. IJR, established in 1909 and transferred to University of Illinois at Chicago in 1990, was the first child guidance clinic and the second organized psychology training program in the nation. It was also one of the first sites for training child psychiatrists.

strives to give children who are born into poverty a chance for success in school and in life. Decades of research in neuroscience, child development, crime prevention, and economics confirm that learning begins well before kindergarten, and that investing in children during their earliest weeks, months, and years produces the greatest returns to families and to society.
