This book provides a step-by-step guide to integrating early
childhood behavioral health care into primary care with hands-on
advice for creating, implementing, and evaluating programs. It
discusses the unique advantages of pediatric primary care as a
setting for mental health services from birth into the early
school years, particularly for addressing parent/child stress and
trauma issues. Contributors illustrate in depth how bringing
behavioral health into pediatric services can engender care that
is replicable and sustainable, not only cost-effective but also
clinically effective. Guidelines and case examples from frontline
practitioners highlight typical challenges and workable
recommendations.
