Often, a diagnosis doesn’t just impact your child’s physical health. It also affects their mental and emotional well-being.
Connecticut Children’s pediatric psychologists provide behavioral health support for existing patients who need coordinated, co-managed care from both physicians and mental health clinicians.
Currently, our services are only available to existing patients. If your child isn’t a patient, but you’re looking for mental and behavioral health support, you can find resources here.
