Lois and John Orr Family Behavioral Health Center

We have one focus: kids.

We have advanced training in helping children and teens with emotional, behavioral and developmental disorders. We offer outpatient consultation to children and adolescents dealing with the stress of a chronic medical condition, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. We also provide consultation for children admitted for medical and/or surgical care who may also be experiencing emotional or mental health issues, and offer inpatient services on our Akron campus.

If your child or teen is experiencing a mental health crisis, our behavioral health emergency services, located within Akron Children's Hospital's emergency departments, is dedicated to evaluating and treating children and teens who present to our emergency rooms with mental and behavioral problems.

Conditions that may lead to a referral to pediatric psychiatry/psychology include developmental or emotional problems, traumatic stress, sexual or physical abuse, psychological components of physical illness, learning problems, changes in dietary habits or suicidal concerns.
