Current Research Trials:
Dr Jenna is involved with the CAPTN TRIAL Network: Approximately 20% of children and adolescents experience a functionally impairing emotional or behavioral disorder, and as many as 1 in 20 youth are seriously mentally ill. Left untreated, mental illness in childhood predicts mental illness in adolescence and adulthood.
