The latest issue of KidsPeace’s Healing Magazine offers readers insights into opportunities for addressing critical needs in the changing world of mental and behavioral healthcare.
The Fall/Winter 2025 edition explores ways patients, staff and provider organizations can take advantage of such opportunities:
- A treatment model called acute partial hospitalization fills the gap for adolescents with needs falling between in-patient treatment and outpatient services.
- A major university seeks to address the need for more skilled workers in child mental health, by creating an entirely new discipline for staff in the field.
- A common approach to making manufacturing operations more efficient has the potential to meet the same need among behavioral health providers.
- And therapists can use the cutting-edge technology of virtual reality to reach their hard-to-treat clients – while their organizations seek ways to make the identification and use of technological advancements part of their culture.
The magazine also profiles the benefits of school-based outpatient programming for students, and offers tips for parents for making the most of their children’s innate curiosity during their development. And it offers the perspectives of KidsPeace associates selected as recipients of the 2025 HELP Awards from the KidsPeace Foundation.
The award-winning Healing Magazine is KidsPeace’s flagship publication, published twice a year and featuring information and insights on subjects of interest to therapeutic professionals, educators, parents, policy makers – anyone with an interest is helping kids grow, thrive and succeed in their lives.
