Caring for Children During a Pandemic: The New Mental Health Crisis, with Dr. Kurt Newman

Children’s National Hospital President and CEO Kurt Newman, MD, shared how Children’s National is helping families cope with the mental health challenges of the crisis. The pandemic’s impact on children’s health goes beyond the virus. Pediatric experts are tracking increases in mental and behavioral health issues as well as incidences of child abuse. Initiatives at Children's National Hospital will ensure children have access to mental health services now and in the time after COVID-19 pressures ease.
