Rady Children's Hospital and county look to add new unit to cope with increasing demand
The crisis in mental health care for kids can be seen at all levels, but especially in the 24-bed psychiatric unit at Rady Children’s hospital.
Both said that the hospital is able to manage by treating kids in other parts of the hospital, so kids in immediate need are not being turned away. Episcopal Community Services in San Diego recently announced that it will expand its Para Las Familias program serving under-resourced families in San Ysidro with the help of a nearly $250,000 county grant while the San Diego Center for Children, San Diego’s oldest child-serving nonprofit, just received a $1 million grant from Rest Haven Children’s Health Fund to add capacity to its existing services serving children with mental health care needs.
San Diego’s Price Philanthropies has also made children’s mental health issues a focus for years, giving more than $1 million to create a behavioral health urgent care clinic inside an existing Rady facility in 2017, working with schools to increase mental health care availability and now working to expand training opportunities, helping UC San Diego create a post-graduate fellowship program for nurse practitioners focusing on mental health care for children and adolescents.
