The MIND Institute remains open in support of its mission to help individuals and families affected by neurodevelopmental challenges. Nonetheless, COVID-19 requires that we change how we work and interact with our community.
These changes include rescheduling many research visits and, when possible, having them by phone or video. For clinic visits, we are still seeing patients at the MIND Institute. In some cases, we are rescheduling visits or using video visits, based on the type of care needed and when it works better for families. We have, however, canceled programs and events that would make social distancing impossible.
Also, until further notice, the MIND Institute's Volunteer Program has been suspended due to the recommendations of local and State government to "stay at home". An alert will be posted when the program is reinstated.
This is a fluid situation and we will adapt as needed. Thank you for your patience, understanding and support as we do our best to fulfill our mission while keeping everyone safe. If you have any inquiries, please call 916-703-0300.
