Abstract

Mental health problems in children and adolescents are common and begin early in life. • Mental health promotion and early intervention during childhood are global public health priorities. • Primary care can help meet this need through collaboration with specialists and by recognizing the centrality of mental health to physical health. • Mental health interventions can be re-designed to fit the work flow and staffing of primary care sites. • Taking on mental health promotion and care is a “whole office” task that includes families in its design and execution.
