Common Conditions in Pediatric Mental Health

VMAP ECHO Cohort

22% of children and teens across America live with one or more mental health conditions, and this number is on the rise.1

Due to the nationwide shortage of mental health experts,2 most patients with mental health conditions see their primary care clinicians first.3 This means that primary care clinicians must be prepared to address these concerns in their daily practice.

Join us for Common Conditions, a VMAP ECHO cohort focused on teaching skills for integrating an understanding of mental health into pediatric primary care. Here’s what you’ll learn about!
