Innovative Child & Adolescent Mental Health Educational Programs Address Growing Public Health Problem

ASU College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation, Phoenix, AZ

15 million children and adolescents, or one in four in the United States, have mental or behavioral health problems that interfere with how they function at home or school. According to the American Psychological Association, only 20 to 25 percent of these children receive any treatment for these disorders. In addition, there is a nationwide shortage of 30,000 child psychiatrists across the U.S., which is contributing to the severe gap in child and adolescent mental health services.

• a 84 credit post-baccalaureate to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree as a child/family psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (C/FPMHNP) ,
• a post-master to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) entry, adding the specialty as a child/family psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner,
• a 15 credit graduate/post-master’s certificate program for PNPs, FNPs, physicians, and other health-related professionals as a child and adolescent mental health intervention specialist for the purpose of enhancing the ability to screen for and provide early evidence-based interventions to children and teens with common behavioral and mental health problems in primary care settings.

The ASU College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation has been ranked among the top 8 percent of graduate nursing programs in the nation according to the recent US News & World Report Rankings of America’s Best Graduate Nursing Schools.

Application deadline for admission to the DNP programs is October 1, 2007. Deadline for applications for the 15-credit certificate programs is January 1, 2008.
