Workshop Agenda

Training the Future Child Health Care Workforce to Improve Behavioral Health Outcomes for Children, Youth, and Families
November 29–30, 2016

The National Academies
2101 Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, DC

Responsibility for the behavioral health of children has traditionally been shared among families, education systems, communities, and the health care system. Within the health care sector, the most intensively trained professionals in the clinical behavioral sciences, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, have shouldered much of the responsibility, and roles of these professionals have focused largely on treating those who have disabling behavioral health conditions. There has been relatively little attention paid by any segment of the health care field to behavioral health promotion and the prevention of behavioral disorders starting early in life, or to early detection and intervention for conditions that emerge in youth.

Childhood behavioral health diagnoses are increasing in absolute numbers as well as in proportion to the total childhood population in the United States. This documented increase is adding to the care and cost burden for children at alarming rates, and behavioral disorders in children and youth very often are a source of disability in adulthood. The opportunity to mitigate risk or behavioral health conditions is likely to be greatest for young children in their first years of life. While interventions are found to be efficacious in preventing cognitive, affective, and behavioral health disorders in young children and adolescents, their adoption in the health care system has been slow. Moreover, with few exceptions, current training in many fields that focus on the health of young children and adolescents falls short of recognizing that behavioral disorders represent one of the largest challenges in children’s health and acknowledging the need to change cognitive, affective, and behavioral health outcomes for children at a population level
