The facility has recently added three psychiatrists, four nurses and two psychologists to its staff to help with growing demand for adolescent behavioral health services. It has also opened a center directed at the treatment and assessment of eating disorders, as well as a trauma-focused center aimed at addressing youth dealing with trauma and grief. 

CHNO is the only psychiatric program in the Gulf Coast region exclusively dedicated to children and adolescents in crisis. It routinely treats children in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast, according to the publication. 

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
