Description

Equity, diversity, and inclusion discussions at Kennedy Krieger Institute brought to focus one clinic that addresses developmental and behavioral disorders in children from low-income urban settings. Discussions concluded that integrating legal consultation and mental health counseling services could better meet the needs of this clinic's patients and families. This novel multidisciplinary team of medical, legal, and behavioral health personnel is a model of comprehensive care for similar clinical settings.
