Behavioral and Mental Health Resources for At Home Use
The providers have curated a list of helpful books, websites and apps that we believe can assist our patient families that are struggling with behavioral and mental health issues. The list can be found here.
Referral Lists
Our providers have assembled a list of those outside practices to which we regularly refer for specialist medical services.
We regularly refer to these behavioral/mental health providers.
These practices are recommended when our patients need to graduate to an adult provider. These providers are recommended for specifically gynecological or sexual health services.
Well Child Handouts
The providers have created handouts that we regularly present to our patients at their well child exams for ages newborn through 5 years of age. These handouts include valuable advice on Nutrition, Safety, Development and other import issues. Copies of these handouts can be found here.
