Why This Matters

A parent raises a concern at a checkup. Help is in the same building that day.

This pilot places behavioral health clinicians directly inside community primary care practices. When a family raises a concern at a routine visit, help is available in the same building on the same day.

Early intervention is the point. Catching anxiety and depression at a checkup keeps children out of crisis care later.
