Central Florida Behavioral Health Program Aims to Protect Teens
A program by Nemours Children's Health provides mental health resources to children and teens at primary care doctors' offices.
Health workers hope this program will help address teen suicides in Central Florida, where a 2023 CDC report shows 20% of high school students who frequently use social media experienced feelings of hopelessness and considered self-harm.
Monica Barreto, clinical director of Behavioral Health with Nemours Primary Care-Florida, said her team is focused on getting teens help early.
The Nemours healthcare system aims to catch signs of trouble sooner to protect children's mental health.
