Funded
Teens waited months for specialty care. Now there is a clinic built for them.
The DAY Clinic treats young people living with anxiety and depression who are otherwise healthy. Fore the Kids funded the clinic over two years of dedicated fundraising, and it now operates as a core part of the Illuminate plan at Children's Mercy.
Patients receive a thorough diagnostic evaluation, medication when appropriate, and a therapy program that combines group and individual sessions.
