Mental and Behavioral Health

Leading the way in mental & behavioral health

Being healthy is about more than just your physical health! We understand the dire need FOR mental and behavioral health and offer our patients services and programs related to autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, depression and more.

Recognizing there is an extraordinary need for more mental and behavioral health services to help children and adolescents, Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo (GCH Buffalo), formerly Oishei Children's Hospital, is committed to serving as a vital resource for child and adolescent behavioral and mental health in WNY. 

In 2026, your gift to mental and behavioral health on Giving Day FOR Kids will directly support a new partial hospitalization program at GCH Buffalo. This program is an intensive, structured day-treatment for children and teens needing more care than weekly outpatient therapy.  It provides group and individual therapy, and continued education and instruction so kids can get the mental health care they need while not disrupting their educational growth and success.

Mental & behavioral health programs and services are an integral part of our care:

• The Children’s Psychiatry Clinic
• The Variety Tent #7 Robert Warner Center for Developmental Pediatrics and Rehabilitation
• Healthy Weigh of Buffalo
• Mental and behavioral support for admitted patients and their families
