Colonia Pediatrics in Elizabeth, NJ is dedicated to supporting the mental and emotional well-being of children through comprehensive Mental Health Screening. Our goal is to detect early signs of mental health issues and provide families with the guidance and resources necessary for effective care.
Mental health screening involves a series of evaluations to assess emotional health, behavior, and psychological well-being. Our pediatricians in Elizabeth use validated screening tools to identify conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorder and stress-related disorders.
Addressing mental health concerns early can prevent academic difficulties, social isolation, and worsening symptoms. Early intervention leads to better outcomes and improved quality of life for children and their families.
Using age-appropriate questionnaires and clinical assessments, our pediatricians gain a detailed understanding of your child’s mental health status. We consider input from both parents and children to ensure a full picture.
When screenings indicate the need, we collaborate with mental health professionals such as therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists. Our team ensures seamless referrals and supports families throughout the care journey.
We provide education on recognizing signs of mental health challenges, coping strategies, and how to support your child’s emotional well-being at home and school.
Mental health monitoring is an ongoing process. We schedule regular follow-ups to track progress and adjust care plans as necessary to meet your child’s evolving needs.
Colonia Pediatrics is proud to serve the Elizabeth community, offering compassionate and expert mental health screening to help children build resilience and thrive emotionally.
