Additionally, PolicyLab released a new Research at a Glance, which explores the effects of mental health boarding—that is, waiting in a medical hospital until mental health treatment is available. The resource highlights three studies that sought to understand the experiences and perspectives of the adolescents who are hospitalized, the caregivers who support them and the clinicians who provide care.
To keep up with PolicyLab’s mental and behavioral health-focused research and resources this Mental Health Awareness Month and year-round, explore the projects under our Behavioral Health Portfolio and follow along with us on X and LinkedIn.
