Pediatric Consultation Service
HRS offers a special consultation/referral service to a number of local pediatric practices. This service is led by HRS’s Chief Social Worker, Janice Tuckman, LICSW. It helps physicians better assess and serve the mental health needs of their patients. HRS staff are available to consult about children when pediatricians have particular questions, and when a mental health referral is indicated, HRS provides a networking resource within the greater community to match families with appropriate therapists both at HRS and elsewhere.
