Over 20% of children in low-income families face mental health challenges, yet many can't access the care they need. A groundbreaking study by Boston Medical Center and Boston University School of Public Health reveals a promising solution: integrating mental health services into pediatric primary care at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). If your child needs mental health support, consider centers that offer integrated care. If unavailable, advocate for centralized healthcare services, emphasizing the importance of timely and comprehensive care for our children's well-being.
