The Harlem Family Institute welcomes gifts of money or in kind

The Institute is a not-for-profit organization devoted to training aspiring psychoanalysts for affordable fees and offering free or low-fee, long-term play therapy, primarily to children and adolescents. It also works with their care-givers.

The therapy is offered in our playroom treatment centers, predominantly in schools in under-served communities.

Help Train Our Psychoanalytic Students

The Institute welcomes expressions of interest and resumes from psychoanalysts interested in helping us with our mission.

The Institute also has created a scholarship fund to support its students' training in memory of C.B. Barbre Jr., the father of its former longtime executive director, Claude Barbre III. Checks should be made out to the Harlem Family Institute and note that they are for the Barbre Fund.
