FAQ #2: My child has been referred for mental health treatment. Will my child see a psychiatrist?

Most children and their family are seen by a therapist, either in the office or in the home and community. They may also have a provider who does coordination called case management or supports coordination.

Some children are referred for child psychiatry, according to standards of medical necessity. If your therapist is recommending a referral for psychiatry, please be sure to discuss in advance with the therapist your feelings about medication for your child. If referred for psychiatry, your child may or may not be prescribed medication.
