36-South Dakota Pediatric Mental Health Care Access Program (BEAM-SD)
Project Description:
The purpose of this program is to promote behavioral health integration into pediatric primary care and increase capacity to provide routine screening, diagnosis, treatment, and referral of child and adolescent behavioral health conditions by reducing disparities in access to behavioral health care, especially in rural and underserved areas. We will accomplish this through establishing training and technical assistance, resource development and dissemination, and a tele-consultation platform using evidence-based practices.
