The $8.2 million facility renovation project is expected to open in October and will also house a physician assistant program and a center for clinician well-being. The most recent funding comes from the Seed Community Development Anchor Institution Fund.

The pediatric behavioral health center within the school will offer a therapeutic environment for children with behavioral health needs, in addition to offering training for parents, teachers and other professionals, according to a Jan. 11 news release.

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.
