Child Counseling
Going to the hospital can be a scary experience for children. That’s why Wellmont provides counseling to help kids cope with any anxiety they may have during their visit with us. Through play, our child life specialists teach children about what will be happening to them—because when children understand what’s happening, they’re less likely to be afraid.
Child Development Center
Child counselors also work with children through the Child Development Center at Bristol Regional Medical Center. At this unique daycare and after-school learning center, children’s physical, emotional, cognitive and social development needs are addressed. The center was originally established to serve the children of Wellmont employees but also offers spaces on a limited basis to children throughout the community.
Community Partners
To further serve children’s developmental needs, we partner with community organizations that include the YMCA, YWCA and the Boys & Girls Clubs.
