Child & Youth Mental Health: Parental Concerns about Children’s Learning, Dev. & Mental Health

Parental concerns about learning, development, and mental health drive referrals to children’s healthcare providers. However, providers need evidence-based guidance to determine the likely accuracy of parents’ concerns and how concerns should be used to inform service decisions. In this webinar, Dr. Katelyn Bryant, Psychologist and Assistant Director of the Mary J. Wright Child and Youth Development Clinic, will speak to her experiences and research that give insight into how parent concerns can be untangled, understood, and used to help busy practitioners narrow down likely possibilities and deliver targeted service offerings. She will offer data on parental accuracy and insights into how parents become concerned about learning, development, and mental health that can enhance providers' responses to parental concern. At the Mary J. Wright Child and Youth Development Clinic, Dr. Bryant develops and directs novel programs that empower parents to understand and address their children’s needs.
