Join The Baker Center for Children and Families for a walk, roll, and fun run along the Charles River Esplanade and celebration on Fiedler Field. The 3rd annual SuperK Walk, Roll & Fun Run is a one-of-kind event that brings together our community of families, friends, and supporters to celebrate children’s mental health—and raise critical funding to support our work and mission.

The definitions of autism have changed dramatically over the past four decades to include a wide range of people. The field continues to debate the utility and meaning of identifying portions of the spectrum as distinct groups, including the recently introduced term Profound Autism.

In this seminar, we will discuss the difference between levels of care (outpatient, inpatient, residential, etc.) and how to navigate the system for your child.

The Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems (MATCH), is an evidence-based counseling program for children and teenagers, ages 6-15, and their families. Unlike most specific counseling programs, which focus on a single problem (e.g., anxiety only), MATCH is designed for multiple problems related to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive conduct, including conduct problems associated with ADHD. The MATCH program can give children and families a specific set of scientifically proven tools to help manage these problems that come up at home, at school, or with friends. Therapists who use MATCH have specialized strategies to customize each treatment to each family.

In this seminar, we will discuss the nature and impact of grief on children and families, when to seek professional support, and what treatment can look like.
