An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure — and now there’s a new facility that provides early recognition and intervention services for health-smart boroughites.
The Park Slope Center for Mental Health, 348 13th Street, launched its Child and Family Clinic Plus with a program of celebration, attended by local dignitaries; among them, Kings County District Attorney Charles Hynes.
The clinic helps schools identify the mental health needs of students and offers screenings for early signs of emotional stress.
“Clinic Plus is designed to be proactive and systematic in recognizing emotional health issues early in children, and engaging families with flexible, culturally relevant services that have been shown to be effective,” said Clinic Plus coordinator Eleanor Cheatham.
