Overview
As a trusted resource for adolescents and their families, primary care providers are well positioned to identify and intervene in adolescent mental health concerns. Research findings indicate approximately 20% of young people ages 9-17 have a diagnosed mental disorder, yet as many as 70% go undiagnosed and untreated.
Adopted by schools of health professions, state agencies, and professional associations, this online solution helps improve the capacity of health professionals to address mental health and suicidal ideation as part of routine care. In this simulation, users assume the role of a health professional and talk with a virtual adolescent about stress-related symptoms and thoughts of suicide.
