The Child & Adolescent Mental Health Centre is a professional treatment centre combining outpatient and inpatient services. Responding to the national "Paediatrics and Mental Health Service Year" action plan (2025–2027) and following the biopsychosocial model of medicine, the centre draws on advanced domestic and international psychiatric and psychological practice. Backed by the expert teams of the Children's Hospital of Fudan University and tertiary psychiatric specialty hospitals, it has established a standardised assessment and diagnosis system.
How We Work
Based on clinical assessment and psychological testing, a multidisciplinary team (MDT) of doctors, psychotherapists, rehabilitation therapists, nurses and case managers jointly discusses and develops personalised treatment plans that fit each patient and family. Through a clear, stable and continuous treatment framework, the centre fosters an inclusive, supportive environment and implements a Teamwork Psychotherapy Model — putting the biopsychosocial philosophy into practice to provide continuous, high-quality, comprehensive mental-health promotion for children and adolescents.
