St.Louis Children's Hospital - Behavioral Health Division

The St. Louis Children’s Hospital Behavioral Health Unit is a place of safety and healing for kids experiencing mental health crises.

When your child is admitted, we have two goals:
--Helping them through the immediate crisis
--Equipping your family with skills and resources that could help prevent a future crisis

Our team of experts are specially trained to help kids cope with depression, anxiety, self-harm and thoughts of suicide. They’re also trained in de-escalation techniques. That means they have the skills to resolve behavioral issues without restraining or isolating patients.
