Are you a clinical faculty member that works with pediatric residents, fellows, or students? Have you heard of the pediatric mental health crisis, but don’t really know what you could do to help? Do you want to start addressing mental health in your patients but don’t really know where to start? Then this is the workshop for you! Come join this highly interactive workshop led by members of the Mental and Behavioral Health Learning Community of the APPD to improve your skills as a pediatric faculty member. You’ll learn about three simple tools for bringing mental and emotional health into the care of your patients, how to integrate these tools into your clinical teaching of residents and fellows, and have a chance to practice your new skills with our expert pediatric educators. You will leave this session with new ideas, new skills, new confidence, concrete resources for further learning, and an action plan for adding at least one new strategy for addressing pediatric mental health at your home institution. You don’t have to be a mental health expert to make a difference, but it will take the whole village.
