MSCAP is a regional membership organization of Child and Adolescent psychiatrists who reside in Minnesota. 

Our goal is to help stimulate and advance medical contributions to the knowledge and treatment of psychiatric problems of children and adolescents. Additionally, MSCAP will advocate for the mental health of children and adolescents and represent the Child and Adolescent psychiatrists of Minnesota in national, state and local levels of professional and community organizations.

We are heartbroken by the tragic school shooting in Minneapolis. Our thoughts are with the children, families, and community affected by this devastating violence.


AACAP stands with all who work to protect children from the trauma of gun violence. In the aftermath of a disaster or violent event, families, educators, and clinicians often need support to help children and adolescents cope with trauma, grief, and recovery.


AACAP’s Resource Library on Guns and Violence offers evidence-based tools, articles, and links to guide caregivers and professionals in promoting healing, resilience, and safety: aacap.org/GunsAndViolenceResources
