N C Med J. 2023 Jul;84(5):293-298. doi: 10.18043/001c.87514.

ABSTRACT

More than 70% of children with one or more mental health diagnoses in North Carolina are not receiving treatment. For many families, emergency departments have become the frontline providers of pediatric behavioral health care. There is a great need for more behavioral health services, a bigger workforce, and environments where children and adolescents can thrive.
