The Munroe-Meyer Institute and the UNMC Tele-Behavioral Health Consultation Team is sponsoring a three-part telebehavioral health consultation webinar series for primary care.
The webinar series is intended to assist primary care providers in managing psychiatric and behavioral health concerns. The series will assist primary care providers with managing depression, sleep concerns and autism in the pediatric primary care setting, as well as understanding and addressing the effects of COVID-19 on children and adolescents.
Learning objectives for the series include:
- Discuss best practices for managing common behavioral health issues in children and adolescents, including adjustment concerns due to COVID-19, depression, sleep concerns and autism
- Describe behavioral strategies or resources (e.g., apps, books) that can be used in the primary care setting instead of, before, or in conjunction with medication
- List common medications for behavioral health issues in children and adolescents
- Discuss when to refer more complex cases outside of primary care to a higher level of care.
