Center for Early Relational Health

The Center for Early Relational Health (CERH) at Columbia University Irving Medical Center is dedicated to advancing science, practice, and policy that supports the earliest relationships in life—those between infants, young children, and their caregivers. Through innovative research, national initiatives, and collaborative partnerships, we aim to improve developmental outcomes and promote lifelong health and well-being.

Our Team

CERH brings together experts across Columbia and beyond to explore early relational health through science, care, and innovation in medicine, development, neuroscience, and more.
