Children's Research Triangle

Children's Research Triangle CRT provides children and teens with exceptional behavioral health services and Camp SOAR. Our work with children and families has many facets.

We offer Evaluation and Treatment for a variety of developmental, educational, emotional, and behavioral concerns. We assist parents in the process of making decisions regarding adoption, we host support groups to bring people together to share successes and challenges, and we provide a Speakers Bureau to share our expertise among parents and professionals. Our Research Department allows us to exp

and evidence-based treatment and ensure that our work is informed by the most up-to-date information. As a result, our clinical programs are recognized as national models for successful interventions. In addition, since 2000, Camp SOAR (Special Outdoor Adaptive Recreation) has allowed children with special needs to create lifetime memories at our overnight camps. The work of Children's Research Triangle began in 1976, when a group of volunteers came together to serve families and children who faced an array of challenges. In 1998, CRT was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization as we continued to expand our services. Our vision is for all children, no matter what challenges or disabilities they may face, to have a safe and nurturing childhood and to receive the support necessary to lead happy, fulfilled lives.

Children's Research Triangle is honored to be a recipient of a 2026 Chicago White Sox Charities grant, a fund of the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.

Participating in is a highlight of our year! CRT therapists joined grantees from across Chicago who share the White Sox commitment to making our city a better place to live, work, and play.

This support helps CRT continue providing free, community-based behavioral health care to kids and families on Chicago's South and West sides.

We're honored to be one of four $100,000 Impact Grants Chicago recipients for 2026!

Many thanks to the incredible group of women whose collective giving makes these grants possible.

This funding is especially important as CRT is facing a future with little to no federal funding.

Support like the Impact Grant means many more underserved children will continue to receive needed mental health services.
