Child & Adolescent Inpatient Services
Children and teenagers can struggle with mental health issues just the same as adults. In the U.S., more than 16 percent of kids under age 18—or one out of six—experience a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety or substance use. Yet nearly half do not receive treatment. The good news is that early intervention produces better long-term outcomes.
