A GP framework for infant and early childhood mental health assessment (0-5 years) aims to enhance the clinical practice in mental health of GPs working with infants and young children aged 0 to five years.
The Emerging Minds online course has been developed in collaboration with a GP consultancy group to equip GPs with knowledge of common child mental health conditions, strengthen their engagement skills for interacting with a child and their family, and develop practical skills for child mental health assessment and management.
The course is accredited with the RACGP as a CPD Accredited Activity (40 CPD points) and with ACRMM as a PDP Activity (6 PDP hours). It is also accredited by the General Practice Mental Health Standards Collaboration (GPMHSC) as stand-alone Clinical Enhancement Module. The course is available to practitioners free of charge.
