In late 2021, the Surgeon General declared a mental health crisis among adolescents in the United States. This crisis has been slowly building for some time, which is evident from trends in adolescent suicide rates over the past two decades. Between 2008 and 2017, the rate of suicide in individuals ages 10 to 24 increased by 60%, and suicide is now a leading cause of death for Colorado adolescents between the ages of 10-24. Risk factors for suicide and other complex behavioral health concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression) differ based on childhood developmental stage, and early identification and treatment may be key to impacting what could otherwise be an unstable or worsening trajectory over the lifespan. In this course, you will discover how measurement-based care and structured screening tools can be used to help these deserving children and youth get the care they need.
