Feb. 20 - OhioRISE will help youth with behavioral health challenges - Columbus Dispatch

When children need emergency surgery or face a chronic physical condition, they can usually get the medical treatment they need through their family’s private or Medicaid insurance, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. But when young people sink into a deep depression, act out violently or harm themselves, treatment options are limited.
