Child and Adolescents Mental Health Assessment (Cohort 3)
This interactive course provides an orientation and overview of child and adolescent psychological assessment. These skills are useful for clinicians in all practice settings across mental health, primary care, social work, and psychology.
While estimates vary, roughly 8 to 10% of children are identified as having learning or developmental disabilities, and over 20% of children have a diagnosable mental illness that can impact learning and school functioning. Intervention for children experiencing such challenges supports a positive developmental trajectory, and a comprehensive assessment to better understand the etiology of the learning challenge and to inform the intervention choices is essential. This course, led by Dr. Ellen Braaten will help demystify the evaluation process. It will provide a review of best practices in the assessment of a variety of behaviors and conditions
An array of reading resources, videos and experiential approaches are used to enhance the learning experience. Virtual discussion follows each lecture during the same week. Each virtual discussion enhances the knowledge and skill acquisition with the exchange of cultural definitions, cultural assessment of family values, codes of conduct, rules and expectations to formulate intervention strategies.
