Healthy Young Minds Program # Healthy Young Minds Program If your child has new mental health concerns that aren’t already being treated by a behavioral health professional, ask your primary care provider about the Healthy Young Minds (HYM) program in the Bay Area.

Care for your child's mental health should be as natural as care for scrapes and bruises. If you have concerns about your child's mental health, ask your primary care provider about pediatric behavioral health. Healthy Young Minds provides behavioral health assessments and therapeutic interventions with a psychotherapist for a few visits, either in person or by video. These specialists work within most pediatricians' offices to provide care. We use the well-established Collaborative Case Management team model, which pairs you with a dedicated care manager. The case manager coordinates services with your pediatrician and a psychiatric consultant if needed. The program is not meant to provide therapy and isn't intended for urgent psychological issues or crises. If you or your child is having a mental health crisis, call 988 or visit the nearest emergency room. After your primary care provider makes a referral to HYM, you’ll receive a call from a HYM team member to review insurance benefits, set your first appointment and answer any questions. ### By the Numbers ### 600+ Pediatric Providers in our communities take care of kids’ health needs. ### 25+ Pediatric Specialties are treated by compassionate doctors who are dedicated to children’s health. ### 6 Sutter Children's Urgent Care in the Bay Area are dedicated to serving our youngest patients. ### 10 Sutter Hospitals honored as America's best for 2024 by Healthgrades. ![teenage-daughters-watching-phone-with-parent](https://edge.sitecorecloud.io/sutterhealt962c-sutterhealt8fce-production57cc-4860/media/Project/SutterHealth/SutterHealthPlan/Images/teenage-daughters-watching-phone-with-parent.jpg?h=1414&iar=0&w=2121) ## Video Gallery for Teens and Families Watch these educational videos for teens and their families on common mental health issues, developed by licensed clinical social workers from PAMF's Healthy Young Minds Program.
