"We need to change this and emulate the advancing model of pediatric health care, where prevention is the norm," says Dr. Jennifer Havens, who has been named the new chair of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health.
Havens, a renowned child psychiatrist, has been interim chair of the department since February 2021.
She has been "a crusader for children who are affected by child abuse, violence, and trauma and a leader in the development of improved mental health services for children and families," according to a press release.
In 2004, she opened the first dedicated psychiatric emergency program for children in the world at New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital.
She then implemented trauma-informed care across the child emergency and inpatient services at NYU Health+Hospitals/Bellevue and led the expansion of their acute child psychiatry service to become one of the country's most comprehensive integrated care system.
Havens worked to extend trauma-informed mental health services to NYC's juvenile secure detention facilities and has been a consultant for the development of similar services at many health care systems throughout the country.
"Havens is passionate about gaining an ever deeper understanding of mental health issues in children and in vulnerable populations, with a goal of consistently improving
