Every year, we update our online materials in anticipation of the new class of clinicians-in-training. Here's a tour video with Dr. Hunt highlighting some of the features of our East River Road location, where we host most of those training opportunties.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

We would like to give a huge shout out to staff clinician Tyler LePore on receiving the Monroe County Got Dreams Award last night! This recognition highlights Tyler’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to implementing Systems of Care values, particularly being youth-guided in his approach. What makes this award especially meaningful is that recipients are nominated and selected by youth themselves, making this recognition a true reflection of the positive impact Tyler has had on the young people and families he works with. Tyler consistently goes above and beyond in engaging youth and families in meaningful ways through his work as a clinician. His passion, advocacy, and commitment to supporting those we serve truly make a difference every day. Congratulations, Tyler, on this well-deserved award and recognition! We are proud to have you on our team.

We're so proud to be partnering with the GCH Department of Pediatrics, RRH, RCSD, and Roc the Future and on this important work that brings healthcare to where kids already are.

Integrating care is great for kids, families, and communities!

The Pediatric Behavioral Health & Wellness Brighter Days team was proud to attend and support Villa of Hope’s Portrait of Hope event.
It was an inspiring evening centered on hope, healing, and community. We’re grateful to stand alongside organizations doing such important work for youth and families.
Highlight of the night—meeting Ray Davis from the Buffalo Bills!

Robyn, Maggie and Elena did a wonderful job in the Golisano Children's Hospital, Pediatrics Grand Rounds this morning!

Their work in creative arts is inspiring. We are blessed to an amazing Creative Arts Therapy team that have enthusiasm, energy, and passion for not just their own work, but in supporting all of our staff in being more playful and creative.

Thank you for representing PBHW in such a creative and unique way. And thank you to all Creative Arts therapists for bringing your passion for the arts to our clinic.

Every month, an elf (as far as I know) puts a question on the white board. Just a fun lil moment.

This month’s is: What’s your go-to comfort food?
