On April 30, the Northwest Austin Circle of Friends Hosted "Fashions for the Well-healed" style show and luncheon benefiting Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas at the Phillips Event Center. The event included a market place, lunch catered by Carrabba's Northwest Austin Italian Grill, a fashion show and some brief words from Dr. William Streusand of the Texas Child Study Center. The fashion show displayed spring outfits from sporty to evening wear in bright colors as women from the community enjoyed lunch and chatted about the newest fashions.
The University of Texas at Austin's Department of Educational Psychology is partnering with Dell Children's Medical Center to create the Texas Child Study Center. The center will consist of an outpatient clinic that offers children's mental health services, training for mental health professionals and graduate students, intervention services for families and research opportunities for faculty and students. Dr. Kevin Stark, a professor in the College of Education’s Department of Educational Psychology, and Dr. William Streusand, Chief of Psychiatry at Dell Children’s Medical Center, conceived the Texas Child Study Center.
“We are going to make this happen,” Dr. Streusand said. “We are highly underserved [in the adolescent mental health field] in Central Texas and have a long way to go.”
Highly trained psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers will staff the new clinic, which will be permanently located adjacent to Dell Children's but is tentatively scheduled to open this September in a temporary location. The Circle of Friends mission is to raise awareness and funds for Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas.
