National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day

A young person with short, dark hair wearing an orange t-shirt, sitting on a yellow couch is facing a person with long curly hair, who is partially out of frame on the right, holding a clipboard, suggesting a consultation setting. In the background, there is a bookshelf filled with various books. The image has multiple text overlays about National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day. The text is set against colored blocks in teal and navy blue.

During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we’re shining a light on the behavioral health services available through all Louisiana Medicaid plans for eligible children under age 21. Mental health challenges can significantly impact children’s ability to learn and develop.

These services include different therapy treatment options and individual, family and group counseling.

Coordinated System of Care (CSoC) offers services and supports to children with serious mental health and substance use challenges who are in or at-risk of out-of-home placement.
