Teachers, school counselors, and other educational professionals are on the front line of interacting with children with mental health issues and can often be among some of the first people to see that a child is struggling. Enhancing the potential for early intervention is important and because educational professionals have relationships with students and their families, they are able to make appropriate referrals for evaluation.
Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein, BBRF President & CEO and Dr. John Constantino will discuss a public health approach for teachers and will provide educators with a deeper understanding of the importance of incorporating universal screening and school based mental health initiatives in the classroom.
Dr. John Constantino is a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of behavioral and mental health conditions of children and adolescents.
