Strengthening Child and Youth Mental Health in the Americas
During the session, PAHO will officially launch its virtual course titled “Improving the Mental Health of Children and Adolescents in Primary Care”, designed to strengthen the capacity of health services to respond effectively and in a timely manner to the needs of this population. The event will feature the participation of the Collaborating Center for Service Development, Training, and Research in Mental Health at the University of Chile, which will present a regional overview of the status of mental health services for children and adolescents in primary care, along with a rapid assessment tool. Additionally, a youth-led conversation focused on mental health promotion and prevention will be held by members of the “Youth for Health Group.”
