Special Webinar: Behavioral Health Boarding
Please Join the Office of Government Relations and The Children’s Mental Health Campaign for a discussion on the behavioral health boarding crisis in Massachusetts. Behavioral health boarding results in children waiting for days and weeks in emergency departments and medical units, due to a lack of acute behavioral health placement options.
This session will cover the effects of behavioral health boarding on children and families, Boston Children’s response, and current state and advocacy efforts to address the crisis in the context of the ongoing pandemic.
