When 13-year-old Lily's broken ankle brought her to Children's Nebraska's Emergency Department, she never expected the conversation would turn to her mental health. But she answered the provided patient health questionnaire openly and honestly, and the results indicated she had signs of depression and needed expert help.

Supported by a safety plan and Children's Caring Contacts correspondence program, Lily received the whole person care she needed -- both physically and mentally.
