Advancing Youth Well-Being Through Partnership: A Collaborative Approach to Mental Health
About This Conference
Today's children and adolescents are growing up in an era of unprecedented pressure — navigating social media, climate anxiety, identity-based violence, substance use, and mental health crises, often without the support systems they need. Meanwhile, pediatricians, family physicians, and child and adolescent psychiatrists are being asked to recognize and respond to increasingly complex presentations across both physical and mental health.
This conference brings together leading national experts and Maine clinicians for a full day of education, dialogue, and practical tools — designed specifically for the collaboration between primary care and psychiatric providers that today's youth urgently need.
This conference is presented by the Healthy Mental Development Committee – a partnership between the Maine Chapter, AAP and Maine Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, in partnership with the Maine Academy of Family Physicians.
