How does the TeleHelp Clinic work?
TeleHelp works with many
different kids who are
having trouble at home or
at school or who are feeling
sad, irritable, or hopeless. Meeting with the team just means you’re
interested in ideas about how to help your child.*
The telemedicine team meets with the child, caregiver, and school professionals
to get a clear picture of the physical, psychological, and social factors
that may influence the child’s behavior and mood. This may be scheduled
through the Tele-Kidcare nurse.
Depending on the concern, we may work with the family in therapy, assist
with medication, refer the child to another professional, or talk about other
options.
We collaborate with the child’s other health providers and school advocates.
There are usually no quick fixes, but working together as a team we believe
things can get better!
* With more immediate safety concerns talk
with crisis/emergency services.
We would like to thank the Health
Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City for their generous sponsorship
of this program.
