Seattle Children’s Autism Center, outpatient mental health on the move

Department news | November 30, 2022


On top of providing mental health care to children and adolescents in the face of increased demands and staffing shortages, the Seattle Children’s Autism Center and outpatient Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine services are moving! On December 12, the two groups will move to a newly remodeled, combined location at 70th and Sandpoint, directly across from the School Mental Health Assessment, Research, & Training (SMART) Center located in Magnuson Park. This will create a behavioral health innovation hub that brings together mental and brain health experts from across Seattle Children’s to facilitate clinical collaboration and accelerate research, including ongoing work to illuminate root causes of mental and behavioral health conditions. The space is intentionally designed for youth with autism and/or behavioral health needs and is part of Seattle Children’s long-term strategic plan.
