Simply Healthcare, an HMO, has partnered with the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to launch SimplyHealthyMinds.com, an online toolkit with various resources to support children's mental health.
"Simply Healthcare is committed to supporting the whole health of Florida's kids — their physical, mental, and emotional health," said Holly Prince, president of Simply Healthcare Medicaid Plan. "SimplyHealthyMinds.com will serve as a trusted source of information on mental health and programs that are available to help kids and families navigate mental health challenges and find appropriate treatment. We are pleased to partner with the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics in this important mission to improve the lives of the people we are so privileged to serve."
According to a press release, "The goals of SimplyHealthyMinds.com are to support children by breaking down barriers, increasing understanding of mental health and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness and improving access to resources and care."
Dr. Lisa Gwynn, president of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said, “There are real consequences when children who need support don’t have access to it. That’s why we wanted to make it easy to find the resources available and help Floridians navigate the challenges of mental health struggles among children.”
