Children need Erikson … and Erikson needs you.

For more than 40 years, Erikson has prepared professionals to change children’s lives and future prospects. Today, in an era of struggling schools, culturally diverse classrooms, fractured families, and growing awareness of other risks to healthy development, our work—and your support of it—is more important than ever.

Erikson is making a difference. Our students, graduates, and faculty are transforming schools, enhancing pediatric care and juvenile justice, improving foster care, and much more. Our work directly or indirectly touches the lives of hundreds of thousands of children each year. Our research reveals the most effective practices and puts this knowledge to work in community programs and in the policy arena.

Children still need more help in their early years, so we’ve launched Fulfilling the Promise: The Campaign for Erikson Institute. This five-year, $30 million capital campaign will expand our work and extend our reach to serve more children and families.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to those who support us, and we encourage you to look around our site to see how we’re making a difference.
