Needs Statement

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.

There is an increasing need for primary care providers to diagnose and treat pediatric mental health disorders due to the lack of child psychiatrists. Pediatricians feel they do not have sufficient training to comfortably manage care for youth with mental health disorders.
