In September, Seattle Children's Hospital opened a psychiatric urgent care clinic for kids and teens. It's the first of its kind in Washington.

We talk with Laura Knapp about the new clinic, and how it's providing important care for young people across Washington who don't need emergency services, but do need same-day care. Knapp is vice president for mental and behavioral health at Seattle Children's Hospital.

We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. You have the power! Make the show happen by making a gift to KUOW.
