The Interface Between Physical & Mental Health (Cohort 2)
This course will provide an overview of the interface between the mental health and physical health of children and adolescents. The course will include a series of 8 pre-recorded lectures in this area. It will cover the impact of serious and chronic medical conditions on the psychological health and development of children, including how children of various developmental levels respond to and cope with illness. It will help participants identify maladaptive responses to illness, including depression and post-traumatic stress, that may require further evaluation and treatment by a mental health provider. It will also cover emotional and behavioral problems that may interfere with treatment, including treatment non-adherence, anxiety related to medical intervention, and treatment-interfering behaviors. There will be a discussion of the ways in which psychological distress can manifest as physical symptoms in the pediatric population. Finally, there will be discussion of how to best support the well-being of children and families who are faced with pediatric medical illness.
