Midwest Anxiety Partnership: Expanding Access to Mental Health Support for Children, Teens, and Families.

Pediatric Care Specialists is proud to work alongside Midwest Anxiety to help expand access to behavioral and mental health support for our patients and families.

At Pediatric Care Specialists, we believe mental health is an essential part of a child’s overall health. Through this partnership, Midwest Anxiety will provide behavioral health services in connection with our office setting, giving families access to mental health support in a place that is already familiar, trusted, and convenient. 

Families often face barriers when trying to access mental health care, including long wait times, uncertainty about where to start, or concerns about taking the first step. This collaboration is designed to make support feel more approachable and connected to the medical care children and teens already receive. 

Through this collaboration, families will have access to behavioral health services in a setting connected to their pediatric care. This can help create a more coordinated, familiar, and supportive experience for children and families.

Our goal is to support the full health of every child — physically, emotionally, and mentally. By collaborating with Midwest Anxiety, we are taking another step toward helping families access compassionate, practical support when they need it.

Families interested in learning more about this opportunity can:

• Call our office at 913-906-0900 Option 1
• Send us a message in the patient portal
• Or ask your pediatrician at your next visit!
