Need Increasing prevalence of behavioral health problems in children National shortage of child psychiatrists Pediatric feedback Requested training in screening, diagnosing and treating behavioral health problems Requested information about community behavioral health referrals and resources Which can influence their desire to do early screenings.
Goals Increase PPCP’s knowledge, skill and confidence to screen and manage children in primary care with mild to moderate mental health needs Promote the rational utilization of scarce specialty resources for more complex and high risk children Advance integration of children’s behavioral health and pediatric primary care Supporting PCP makes sense – Families feel more comfortable going to their PCPs first Reduced stigma by care given in medical setting Achieving familiarity with the most common psychiatric diagnoses, strategies for assessment, and treatment appropriate for the primary care setting Gaining confidence in your expertise including recognizing the limits of your knowledge Becoming familiar with the wide variety of community-based private and public behavioral health resources and how to make effective referrals Helping parents become effective advocates for their children Coordinating care for patients receiving behavioral health services in the community
