Description
Old ideas about how parents might access mental health services for their children are fading and some exciting new prospects are beginning to emerge! The facilitators of this webinar have expertise in mental health service delivery and social environmental barriers to service seeking and have been funded by the National Institute of Health for their research in these areas. They will discuss current research on why parent’s don’t seek help as well as some new ideas about how to “get them in” including offering services in new settings like schools and integrated care. Building on this new information, the focus will be on exploring cutting edge ideas on service provision. Discussion will focus on how schools, parents, physicians, and mental health service providers might work together to develop provocative strategies for getting help where it’s needed and improving child outcomes.
