This course features a case-based approach that emphasizes early problem identification, advanced evaluation, intervention, and collaborative care for children through young adults with developmental-behavioral or mental health (DBMH) concerns. A biopsychosocial, developmental, interdisciplinary approach is used as the foundation for explicating family-basedpsychotherapeutic interventions and indications for referral of patients with complex DBMH concerns. Students will build skills to identify and evaluate a variety of multidisciplinary resources to enhance quality DBHM services and promote optimal socioemotional development and functioning. Sociocultural influences are critically analyzed and considered as a basis for advocacy and policy development.
