Through a unique partnership with Stamford-based HealthCare Connection, Inc., Kids in Crisis is able to provide complete medical care to every child who turns to us for help. With a full-time Nurse Practitioner and consulting physicians, including a psychologist and psychiatrist, the TLC Health Center provides comprehensive medical care to children who have not seen a physician in years, if ever.
Every child who stays at Kids in Crisis begins their visit with a complete physical and dental assessment. To compile a thorough health overview, residents are also examined by a child and adolescent psychiatrist and psychologist when necessary. Without fail, treatment of previously undiagnosed problems or illnesses begins immediately and preventive care, including inoculations, is also launched. When children leave Kids in Crisis each has many for the first time an extensive, accurate medical work-up to provide future caregivers with insight on their individual journey.
