AAP - Responding to the Pediatric Mental Health Crisis in Rural Settings

Please join AAP Pediatric Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) Technical Assistance Program and National Rural Adolescent and Child Health (NRACH) ECHO Training Center for a virtual webinar discussing pediatric mental health in rural, frontier, and underserved communities. Participants will learn how PMHCA programs offer pediatric Primary Care Providers (PCPs) and other pediatric providers resources and support to respond to pediatric mental health needs in real time. Attendees will gain understanding of the PMHCA model, learn about strategies to respond to the pediatric mental health workforce shortage and what the AAP can offer rural practices to respond to pediatric mental health needs. The webinar will feature the Colorado Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation & Access Program (CoPPCAP) and their efforts to expand PMHCA program services to rural areas of Colorado.
