Dr. Joseph L. Woolston has been appointed chief of child psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center.
Woolston is professor of child psychiatry and pediatrics at the School of Medicine, medical director of Child Psychiatric Services at Yale-New Haven Hospital, medical director of the Yale Intensive In-home Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Service (YICAPS) at the Child Study Center, and medical director of HUSKY Behavioral Plus.
"Dr. Woolston will thrive in his new role and I am excited to be working with him," said Alan Kazdin, director of the Child Study Center, in announcing the appointment.
Woolston founded the Children's Psychiatric Inpatient Service at Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1985. This service has been an international model for evaluation of seriously disturbed children and their families, for the training of mental health professionals, and for research on severe childhood psychopathology and innovative service delivery models.
In 1996, Woolston founded YICAPS, a blend of wrap-around service approaches in a medical model. In 1998 he helped develop the behavioral health supplement to Connecticut's implementation of HUSKY, the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. He helped create a state-funded managed care program that delivers supplemental behavioral health services to underinsured children based on the YICAPS model.
Woolston received his undergraduate degree from Yale in 1970 and earned his M.D. in 1973 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
