Finding Treatment for Children's Mental Health

July 06, 2021

Mental health has been top of mind for many of us during the last year, and children are an especially vulnerable group. But is the help they need out there? And even when it is, is it accessible, or affordable?

Today we talk to people who work on connecting children and families to mental health resources and providers, to find out what impact the pandemic has had so far and what access issues have been around long before it.

We also hear from a mother in South Bend who's struggled for years to find treatment for her son.

If you want to dive deeper into this topic, you can find recent coverage from Side Effects Public Media and newsrooms around the Midwest right here.
