Behavioral and mental health (BMH) is increasingly becoming one of the most pressing pediatric health issues in the U.S. At least one in five children and adolescents in the U.S. has a behavioral or mental health condition. Left untreated, these conditions limit a child’s potential, and may even lead to death by suicide.
Recognizing the magnitude of this challenge, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has initiated an historic commitment to the behavioral and mental health of children throughout its health system. Alongside our community, Children’s has developed a plan to support the mental health and development of the population of 1.5 million children in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The plan is about thinking big, starting small but moving quickly—all while scaling successful ideas and leveraging community partnerships to maximize impact.
Through the implementation of the comprehensive evidence base of clinical mental health care of children, the overarching goal is to reduce the rates of impairing psychiatric conditions of childhood, offset substance use and suicide risk among children and adolescents, and increase the proportion of children whose lives are characterized by resilience and wellbeing.
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (Children’s) and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory are seeking a corps of 4 junior faculty child and adolescent psychiatrists to augment our existing multidisciplinary team of clinicians dedicated to behavioral and mental health, currently numbering over 100 professionals.

- Recovery of adolescents in crisis
- Evaluation and comprehensive treatment of young children with early psychiatric syndromes
- Referral populations that will benefit from implementation of evidence based, cross disciplinary treatment approaches
- Patients at risk for enduring mental health conditions across the wide spectrum of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, serious persistent mental illness, post-traumatic stress, and specialized mental health needs of LGBTQ youth and youth in foster care
- Our clinical environment currently features an experienced group of mid-career child and adolescent psychiatrists, as well as unlimited opportunity to collaborate with clinician scientistsin the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, in its Division of Child and Adolescent psychiatry, as well as those in the Department of Pediatrics.
