Description
Summary:The mental health needs of children and adolescents cannot be met by any one discipline or specialty. Here, DiMarco and Melnyk examine the position statement of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) on the mental health needs of children and adolescents. There is a vision shared by both advanced practice psychiatric nurses and pediatric nurse practitioners on this issue. The synergism between these two specialties holds the potential for increasing networks and resources; enhancing knowledge and skills; and having more innovation in clinical practice, research, and education related to the mental health of children and adolescents.
