Description
By Dr. Jane Meschan Foy MD FAAP
This all-new point-of-care clinical support chart aids physicians in responding to the mental health needs of their patients encountered in everyday practice. It offers practical guidance on performing brief, evidence-based pediatric interventions that (1) help the child and family in that moment, in the examination room or on the phone, or when a need first surfaces, and (2) improve the child’s functioning and reduce the family’s distress while one is determining whether a full diagnostic assessment and/or the involvement of mental health or developmental specialist(s) will be necessary.
