A Psychiatry Service for Parents of Children With Medical Complexity
We identified a high number of treatable psychiatric illnesses in the referred parents. Partnerships between pediatric complex care teams and psychiatry services and using virtual care may help with timely and accessible mental health care for this at-risk population. Future research could investigate adherence to and efficacy of treatment recommendations for this caregiver population.
