Digital Technologies for Pediatric Mental Health

The mental health of our children is important to our society. Unfortunately, the state of mental wellness for our nation’s children and adolescents is declining. Twenty percent were diagnosed with a mental disorder before COVID-19, and only a fraction of that is receiving professional help.
