A place known for second chances will soon be recognized for early intervention practices, giving children with behavioral and mental health problems the best first chance to a successful life.

Medical research is increasing our understanding of how abuse and neglect affect the developing brains of children. In response to these new research findings, Boys Town is launching the Center for Neurobehavioral Research in Children. The effort is a collaboration between Boys Town National Research Hospital and Boys Town Youth Care Services. The new Center will study and improve methods for intervening early in the lives of children with behavioral and mental health problems.

If your company is committed to causes associated with children's health or behavioral and mental health research, consider integrating a partnership with this week's America's Charities Featured Charity, Boys Town, into your social responsibility and workplace giving programs.
