Abstract:
In the national movement to improve care and services for children with emotional issues, East Carolina University researchers are leading the way through a project called Pitt Edgecombe Nash-Public Academic Liaison (PEN-PAL). The project brings together multi-agency service providers, communities, and families for a seamless system of care for over 400 children who suffer with issues such as attention deficit disorder, anxiety, depression, and oppositional defiant disorder.
