Research shows that embedding mental health screening and services within pediatric primary care is one of the most effective ways to support a child’s overall health and well-being.
That’s why our Pediatric Integration Program and Mobile HOPE Unit recently stopped by BlueBird Pediatrics for a pop-up visit to share more about our programs, services, and resources available for children and families.
We’re committed to bringing HOPE and healing wherever we go so more families can access the support they deserve.
Thank you, BlueBird Pediatrics, for partnering with us to care for our community’s kids. 💙
