How Collaborative Care Enhances Your Practice and Increases Child Mental Health Access
In order to meet the significant need for pediatric mental health services, many child and adolescent psychiatrists are trying to evolve their practices to work more collaboratively within our systems of care. By working more collaboratively with primary care practices and others, our limited workforce can address the mental health needs of more children and adolescents. This six-part series teaches the essentials that all child and adolescent psychiatrists need to know to enhance their practices by adopting collaborative models. This free virtual series includes 6 videos by experts in the field and up to 3 opportunities to interact with those experts over the next year.
