Walk-In Assessment Center

The walk-in, outpatient clinic is for children and youth who are having behavioral health crises such as thoughts of suicide or self-harm, depression, anxiety or out-of-control behavior, among other mental health issues.

Children with a mental health crisis are able to come to Tykes & Teens to get help rather than risking an hours-long wait in the emergency room for care. It is available for children 5 years and older and youth under 18 (or 21 if still in high school). The goal is to divert youth from more expensive and restrictive services, provide an alternative to accessing the emergency room and provide resources to law enforcement.

Our clinic is available on a sliding scale fee, ensuring that all children and youth have access to our walk-in clinic, no matter the ability to pay.
