Comprehensive Student Assessments

Data suggests one in five children and adolescents in the United States have a mental or behavioral disorder and six to nine million young people have a mental disorder associated with significant functional impairment. Yet, only a fraction of the youth who need mental health services receive them, especially from child and adolescent psychiatrists. 

 

Identifying youth in need of mental health services improves the outcomes and can lower morbidity and mortality related to psychiatric disorders such as substance use, suicide, and other impulsive, risky and destructive behaviors. Because an estimated 95% of all American youth are enrolled in schools, this venue provides a logical point-of-entry into mental health services for young people.

 

At Psychiatry Studio, our physicians facilitate the early identification and referral for at-risk students to ensure schools and students receive timely support and interventions.
