SACYHN works with primary care providers to help them enhance their professional knowledge and practice related to children and youth. In 2003, SACYHN received three years of funding from the federal Primary Health Care Transition Fund via the Alberta Health and Wellness Capacity Building Fund for two outreach initiatives: Healthy Infants (maternal risk factors) and Healthy Minds/Healthy Children (children’s mental health). Check Our Past Projects for more information about SACYHN’s previous work on these initiatives.
Healthy Minds / Healthy Children
SACYHN continues to partner with Healthy Minds/Healthy Children and the University of Calgary Faculties of Medicine and Social Work to offer accredited, internet-based educational opportunities for physicians and mental health practitioners in the area of child and adolescent mental health. Busy professionals can access these online continuing professional development modules at their convenience on any computer with Internet and audio capability. Professionals are also able to interact with specialists and colleagues on the topics and related practice issues.
