POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Today, we honor the memory and enduring legacy of our Founding Director, Dr. William E. Pelham, Jr.

A pioneer in #ADHD research and treatment, Dr. Pelham challenged long-held assumptions about how best to help children with ADHD, demonstrating the powerful role of behavioral interventions in helping them succeed at school, at home and beyond.

His groundbreaking research transformed the field and continues to guide our work to improve the lives of children and families through evidence-based care.

As we recognize #ADHDAwarenessMonth, we invite you to revisit one of his influential studies, which found that medication alone does not help children with ADHD learn.

Thank you to FIU College of Arts, Sciences & Education and the Education Outreach Program for bringing STEAM Fest to our gym tonight! 🔬✨ And a huge thank you to all the families who came out to explore, experiment, and get inspired together. Watching our students dive into hands-on science with FIU experts was a highlight of the year. Special thanks to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital for making this possible. We can’t wait to do it again!

The Living Lab at FIU is a growing experiment in how we produce food, use resources, and prepare students for the #circluareconomy future.

🌱At Biscayne Bay Campus, food scraps and used coffee grounds from the campus Starbucks become compost. Organic crops grow in raised beds built from salvaged pallets. Some of the harvest returns to the university kitchens.

Students take part in every step. They compost, plant, water, and harvest while exploring the connections between soil health, food waste, and operating costs.

Thank you to Dr. Jesse R. Blanchard, Dr. John Buschman and María Eugenia Costa for welcoming us and guiding us through this space.

🦋After the tour, we gathered for a picnic overlooking Dr. Jazmin Locke-Rodriguez @phytofloragardens. We read our story about her work while seeing it firsthand. Jazmin shared how these gardens help clean waterways, support wildlife, and reconnect communities with nature.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us to read, learn, and spend time together in the places where these stories grow.

Special thanks to @volofoundation and @flhumanities for supporting this gathering and helping us bring stories beyond the page!

We were honored to welcome Congressman Carlos Gimenez and his wife, Lourdes P. Gimenez, a member of The Children’s Trust Board of Directors, to our center last week!

Our Executive Director Jeremy Pettit, Director Katie Hart and affiliated faculty member Daniel Bagner, who also serves on The Children’s Trust Board of Directors, gave them a tour of our center. During their visit, they shared more about the research, programs and initiatives underway to support children and families in our community.

We truly appreciated the opportunity to connect and highlight the work our faculty, staff and students are doing every day to improve children’s mental health.

Thank you, Congressman Gimenez and Lourdes Gimenez, for taking the time to visit and for sharing our commitment to helping children and families thrive!
