Behavioral Health Integrated Program
There may be times when your child, while they are hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for a medical illness, shows symptoms of a behavioral or mental health condition.
If that happens, CHOP's Behavioral Health Integrated Program team provides comprehensive assessment and brief treatment of mental health needs to keep children and adolescents safe as they recover.
