Mental Health Telehealth Options Available

The COVID-19 crisis has effected everyone in a myriad of ways and we realize that it is more important than ever that we attend to the mental health needs of our community.

Franciscan Children’s has been a leader in pediatric mental health for many decades, serving more than 15,000 children each year. Our inpatient programs are the exclusive pediatric partner for McLean Hospital and our outpatient behavioral programs are a staple in the Boston Public School system.

Now, Franciscan Children’s is proudly serving all family members with their new telehealth service. Done by phone, online or within one of our parent support networks, Franciscan Children’s expert clinicians are now taking appointments for individual counseling, group therapy or medication management.

The program is led by Dr. Fatima Watt, the Director of Behavioral Health Services, who was recently highlighted in the Boston Herald for her work guiding families through this pandemic with a family-focused virtual discussion series that can be found on YouTube.

Please see our information below to see if you or anyone you know can benefit from this safe, effective and flexible mental health benefit.

All insurances are accepted, appointments are available and hours are flexible.
