Michigan Clinical Consultation & Care (MC3) is launching a free virtual education series beginning March 10 to help healthcare professionals better support children and adolescents experiencing behavioral health crises.
The Practical Strategies to Support Youth Risk for Behavioral Escalation series will be held biweekly on Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m. ET and will feature 30-minute presentations followed by an optional 15-minute Q&A with clinical experts.
The program was developed following meetings between MC3 leaders and emergency services and health systems teams across Michigan. Leaders reported that providers and staff often face challenges managing behavioral escalation among youth in crisis settings.
The webinars are designed for professionals working in emergency, acute and crisis environments. Sessions will cover topics such as trauma-informed care, behavioral dysregulation and strategies for supporting youth with autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities.
The series is open to healthcare professionals statewide at no cost. Participants can learn more and register through MC3.
Members with questions may contact Lenise Freeman at the MHA.
