NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has received a $10 million gift from Bukhman Philanthropies, a London-based foundation founded by Daria and Dmitri Bukhman, to support YSM's Yale Child Study Centerย (YCSC) and YCSC's two initiatives: Yale Center for Emotional Intelligenceย (YCEI) and theย Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program.ย
The award will fund projectsย to develop evidence-based interventions and scale tools that strengthen the mental health and emotional well-being of children and young adults. The initiatives are led by Marc Brackett, PhD, founding director of YCEI and professor at YCSC; Wendy Silverman, PhD, Alfred A. Messer Professor at YCSC and professor of psychology; and Eli Lebowitz, PhD, associate professor at YCSC.
"We are grateful to Bukhman Philanthropies for their extraordinary gift," saysย Nancy J. Brown, MD, the Jean and David W. Wallace Dean of Yale School of Medicine. "It is an investment in children and families to promote emotional health.ย Their generosity will help our faculty translate science into practical toolsโstrengthening emotional well-being and development in young people, supporting parents, improving access to care, and advancing research that meets today's challenges, including the realities of social media in a rapidly changing world."
According to the World Health Organization, globally, one in seven (14.3%) 10-19-year-olds experience a mental disorder. Depression, anxiety, and behavioral disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability in adolescents, and suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds.
"In a fast-changing world shaped by rapid technological advancement, including AI, I believe that the qualities that make us truly humanโemotional awareness, empathy, and connectionโwill become more valuable than ever. Young people today face a wide range of pressuresโfrom academic demands and socioeconomic challenges to the complexities of the digital environment and social media," Daria Bukhman says. "As parents, we have a responsibility to equip the next generation with the tools and support they need to lead meaningful, resilient, and fulfilling lives."
