Nearly 1 in 5 children have, or will have, a mental, emotional or behavioral health disorder, but only 20% of those children receive care. To address the shortage, Children’s Behavioral Health Network offers programs and resources to expand knowledge and education in mental health care and connect providers with children and adolescents in need.
