Havens, a renowned child psychiatrist, has been named the Arnold Simon Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and chair of the department since February 2021.
She has served as interim chair since 2021.
Havens, who opened the first dedicated psychiatric emergency program for children in the world in New York City in 2004, "is passionate about gaining an ever deeper understanding of mental health issues in children and in vulnerable populations, with a goal of consistently improving care," says Robert I.

"Her tireless vision inspires others to make the world a better place for children every day," Grossman says in a press release.
"NYU Langone is one of only two academic medical centers in the nation with an independent child and adolescent psychiatry department," adds Havens.
"Our commitment to training leaders in mental health care, integrated approach to research and broad-reaching clinical services help define excellence in the field."
