Children & Adolescent Programs

For our children, their health and welfare is a top priority. When their growth and development is disrupted, it can affect their family, schoolwork and social life, which can lead to problems in adulthood. At OSU Harding Hospital, we offer child and adolescent programs individualized to meet a child's needs.

The Facts:
  • Mental health problems affect one in every five young people at any given time.
  • 12 percent of children and adolescents in the U.S. (nearly one in 10) suffer from a mental disorder severe enough to cause some level of impairment.
  • Approximately two-thirds of all young people with mental health problems who need help are not getting it.
