New Mental Health Resources and Tools for Staff

We’re excited to share a new resource to empower our Cook Children’s teams in navigating mental health care for our patients and their families with greater ease and confidence.  Our new Mental Health Resource lives in CookNet and has been designed with one goal in mind—to deliver the right support at the right time to our staff. Here’s what you can find all in one place: 

1.       Screening Recommendations to guide early identification. 

2.       Family Resources and Educational Tools tailored to help your team and families understand mental health essentials. 

3.       Referral Resources to connect patients to the appropriate care. 

4.       Clinician Education to enhance knowledge and training.

5.       Key Contacts for streamlined communication and consultations within our system. 

6.       Self-Care system resources available to support your own personal mental health.

Mental health plays a vital role in a child’s well-being, and when we come together with the right tools and knowledge, we can make a lasting difference in their lives. We invite you to explore this new resource collection today. Whether you’re a clinician looking to enhance support for your patients or a social worker seeking additional tools to assist families, this resource has been created for you.
