Theme: Nursing education, management and leadership. Given the increasingly complex mental health needs of children and young people and the critical shortage of proficient mental health specialists, a study of US nursing education programs was done. Does the current paediatric nursing workforce preparation best meet the distinct needs of young people with behavioral and mental health challenges is the key question? Experts in the field of child psychiatric nursing practice, education and research came together to find model nursing programs for educational and clinical preparation. This presentation will report an analysis of the content of curricula-preparing psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, models for adaptation to paediatric nurses' training and recommendations for leadership strategies.
Objectives:
Describe existing US nursing education models for child and youth mental health care. Propose strategies for education leadership.
