Establishes regional pediatric mental health hubs to provide immediate in-home support and secure telehealth access for children under 12.
West Virginia SB1003 creates a "Home-First" mental health framework to prevent children under 12 from being removed from their homes due to unavailability of community-based resources. The bill mandates the establishment of three Regional Pediatric Mental Health Hubs in the Northern, Southern, and Central regions. These hubs will maintain real-time directories and live maps of pediatric counselors, provide immediate behavioral health coaching, and set up secure telehealth kiosks in rural areas.
