Since the pandemic, the demand for mental health services among children has sharply increased.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Now, more help is on the way for children and teens navigating the mental health system as the Psychiatric Intake Response Center at Children’s Hospital goes statewide.
Jones says families don’t always know where to turn for help, so to give them the ability to navigate the system, PIRC is expanding statewide. Adults can call the free, confidential phone response center and speak to a licensed mental health professional. Since 2018, the PIRC team has identified more than 1,600 providers in the state and created a database that is updated regularly.
