What would benefit your patients/students the most?
In regards to education, patients benefit from knowing that their school district is in contact with the treatment provider, so some level of appropriate instruction can be provided while an individual is receiving treatment. When an adolescent gets placed in the hospital, they may experience anxiety relating to “falling behind” in school. Providing a link to an adolescent’s education helps give the adolescent peace of mind, and also provides an opportunity to work on some studies, while also focusing on their treatment.
