ForwardKY MARK: Increasing Access to Pediatric Mental Health Care in Kentucky
The Kentucky Mental Health Care Access for Resiliency in Kids Program ensures that pediatric primary care and other providers working with children are confident and competent in screening and helping children with behavioral conditions. This training will increase the providers' knowledge and skills, resulting in earlier identification, diagnosis, and treatment for children with mild to moderate behavioral needs. Completing this educational series will advance the integration of children's behavioral health and pediatric primary care.
Primary care providers do not have sufficient knowledge and training to treat children with behavioral/mental health issues with needed confidence and proficiency.
