Pediatric Behavioral Health

Pediatric behavioral health refers to the mental and emotional well-being of children and adolescents. It involves understanding, preventing, and treating issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and behavioral challenges that can affect a child's daily life, learning, and relationships. These concerns are common and can be influenced by biological, environmental, and social factors. Pediatric behavioral health professionals work with families to develop strategies and interventions that help children develop healthy coping skills, improve behavior, and thrive emotionally. Ensuring good behavioral health supports a child's overall development and helps set a foundation for a healthy adult life.
