A public health initiative that provides a bilingual database, network, and media on pediatric mental health options.
We understand that finding treatment options for a child can be incredibly difficult for parents especially immigrant parents, the people who don’t have insurance, or generally the residents of the urban population who have inadequate access to care.
Hudson Origins is here to ease that process of supporting a child/loved one with mental illness. We are a database, network, and media on pediatric mental health that directs you to local options for pediatric mental health care. Multiple groups are available, dear parents, to help you out on the journey in best helping your child. And we are here to present those options.
Browse below, under the particular mental and behavioral issues, the agencies who specialize in them and who may best help you out.
