ECHO-Chicago: Toddler Mental Health in Primary Care: When to Worry, What to Say, What to Do

When to Worry, What to Say, What to Do When a young child shows signs of emotional or behavioral concerns, primary care clinicians are often among the first professionals families turn to, but knowing when to worry, how to start the conversation, and what to do next can be challenging. This interactive series will give clinicians practical, evidence-based strategies for recognizing and assessing toddler mental health concerns, engaging families in supportive and culturally responsive conversations, and determining appropriate next steps. Through sessions focused on topics such as irritability and tantrums, social and family context, mental health risk assessment, communication with families from diverse backgrounds, referrals, and behavioral interventions, participants will build skills they can put into practice with young children and their families. Join us to strengthen your confidence in addressing toddler mental health in primary care and gain practical tools for navigating these important conversations, from recognizing early concerns to connecting families with appropriate support.
