Nationwide Children’s Behavioral Health Services is one of the largest pediatric behavioral health service lines in the United States. It fosters a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to mental health care that integrates psychiatry, psychology, community mental health, and related developmental pediatric behavioral health services at Nationwide Children’s and The Ohio State University. Outpatient psychiatric services have comprehensive nursing support.
In 2020, thanks to a transformational $50 million gift from Big Lots and their Foundation, Nationwide Children’s constructed America’s largest center dedicated exclusively to child and adolescent behavioral and mental health on a pediatric medical campus. The Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion is nine stories and 386,000 square feet. It uniquely integrates acute behavioral health services with intensive outpatient services.
Features of this one-of-a-kind center include:
- A Psychiatric Crisis Department with nine assessment rooms that are more conducive to working with pediatric patients and families in crisis than a typical emergency room. A 10-bed Extended Observation Suite allows for appropriate time to determine if a patient should be admitted to a higher level of care.
- A Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit with 16 beds designed for intensive mental health treatment for youth.
- Influenced by trauma-informed practices, inpatient psychiatry units are maximized for safety and comfort, from furniture and lighting, to considerations made for bathrooms and doorways. The Pavilion will ramp up to house 48 patient beds. It has three specicially designed units, including one for children with neurobehavioral disorders.
- A gym, fitness room and play deck allow patients to run and play.
- Outdoor fifth story courtyards provide respite to families and to staff. The Ronald McDonald Family Room, operated by Ronald McDonald House Charities, is a place for families to take a break.
- Common gathering places on each unit allow patients and families to interact during the day in group therapy, and provide places for connection throughout the treatment journey.
- Intensive outpatient programs, including the Mood and Anxiety Program, Family-Based Intensive Treatment, outpatient general psychiatry, and the Critical Assessment and Treatment Clinic.
- The Center for Suicide Prevention and Research, which is continuing its work to address the growing problem of suicide among youth.
- Comfort rooms throughout the Pavilion offer patients access to soothing spaces that give staff the ability to control lighting and provide music, complete with softer furniture. A sanctuary and quiet alcoves with views of nature and natural light will also provide places of respite. More than 10,000 people nationally made contributions to Project SNAP to create inspirational artwork for the pavilion.
