This new guide will help clinicians recognize and manage emerging mental health issues using interventions that are designed for the primary care setting.

Mental Health Strategies for Pediatric Care provides a framework for identifying and understanding the common factors and common elements of mental health care and, as a natural outgrowth, incorporating the following considerations into daily practice:

• - Eliciting patient and family social and mental health concerns
• - Increasing patient and family understanding of social and mental health problems
• - Managing mental health issues that have resulted in functional problems but not reached the level of a diagnosable disorder
• - Using therapeutic strategies that are an early, first-line approach to common mental health concerns
• - Developing positive patient and family attitudes about seeking treatment from social service or mental health specialists
• - Supporting the patient and family in maintaining emotional and behavioral change that results from mental health specialty treatment
• - And more!
