Mission
Child Development Research is dedicated to restoring and preserving the mental health of children especially those who have suffered under the extreme trauma of organized persecution. This includes documenting patterns of normal child development and the disruptions, remedy distortions, and adaptations which occur during and in the aftermath of trauma. The organization is dedicated to discovering and promulgating approaches which can ameliorate the long term effects on victims of past, present, and future mass dehumanizations.
