Allied Physicians Group announces antibullying partnership with LICAB

Allied Physicians Group and The Long Island Coalition Against Bullying, known as LICAB, announced a new anti-bullying partnership at Nassau Pediatric Associates in Franklin Square, designed to help end bullying on Long Island on Aug. 20.

As part of the partnership, Allied offices will serve as a safe place where young patients can talk with doctors and gain access to the free services offered by LICAB. New posters will be displayed in all of Allied’s 23 offices across Long Island. 

The poster is a starting point for raising awareness and providing access to LICAB’s free services. Youth bullying, mental health and anxiety have risen in recent years across the region. To address these concerns, Allied Physicians Group has created a special committee to focus on mental health in children. Allied provides patients with in-office as well as telemedicine mental health visits. 

“Over the past few years, Allied has strengthened its relationship with LICAB,” Dr. Daniel Camillery of Allied Physicians Group said in a news release. “With this new partnership, we are going even further to eliminate bullying in schools, ensuring our children will thrive in a safe environment. LICAB and Allied will continue to lead the initiatives against bullying and focus on educating and providing services and support to parents and patients.”

“We are enthusiastic about our relationship with Allied Physicians Group, with whom we share this common mission,” Joe Salamone, LICAB executive director, said in the news release. “With Allied, more parents will learn about the free support services we provide. Pediatric offices are a safe place where children and families feel comfortable.”
