A community mental health center in Chicago has won this year's APF Division 39 Grant for work that supports and advances the field of psychoanalysis.

The Kedzie Center is using the $6,000 grant to implement Pequenos Exploradores/Little Explorers, an eight-week program that supports parents' engagement, attachment and responsiveness to their young children. The program, which is based on contemporary theories of psychoanalytic development, provides social opportunities for families to share their experiences in a safe, inviting space with developmentally appropriate materials for children. At the end of program, psychologists consult with each parent about their children's development and attachment, and make specific recommendations for each family. The center encourages families to return even after the program has finished.

The next deadline for the Div. 39 grant is June 15.
