Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development

We strive to improve the lives of children through research, education and outreach that addresses the impact of early abuse, neglect, and trauma.
(1)

The Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development strives to help children suffering the effects of early trauma, abuse or neglect. We conduct research to deepen understanding about the complex needs of these children and how and why these harmful experiences can impair development and lead to social, behavioral and emotional problems. We design and promote research-based models for practical interventions that anyone can use to help children heal and reach their highest potential.
