Pediatric Wellness Partners, A Prof Nurs Corp

1 in 5 children and adolescents experience a mental health disorder, with anxiety and depression being the most common conditions; however, only half of these receive treatment. Therefore, behavioral and psychiatric disorders are the most common group of conditions that impact our community’s youth. Barriers to treatment leads to these conditions resulting in significant disability with poor school and social performance, impaired family dynamics, and worsening mental health for children and families overall. Our practice provides increased access for psychiatric evaluations, treatment planning, and medication management for children in our community.
