IDPH-Office of Woman's Health

The Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP) will strengthen pediatric mental health care across Illinois by expanding clinician training, building peer support networks, and increasing accessible resources for providers and families. ICAAP will develop and launch a Quality Improvement project focused on enhancing pediatric mental health response in primary care. To support this work, ICAAP will engage pediatricians as regional peer advisors who will help clinicians implement best practices and navigate mental health needs within their communities. ICAAP will host a statewide, in-person Pediatric Mental Health Conference to share current evidence, highlight effective care strategies, and foster collaboration among pediatric and behavioral health professionals. ICAAP will also create and promote new educational events and resources designed to help primary care clinicians better identify, manage, and refer children with mental health concerns. In addition, ICAAP will develop and distribute accessible materials that promote pediatric mental health literacy and help Illinois families understand and access appropriate services. Together, these efforts will improve clinician capacity, enhance statewide coordination, and support early, effective pediatric mental health care.
