This 250+ word PMH-APRN discussion (with a Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder video) asks how PMH-APRNs can expand their roles across primary, secondary, and tertiary mental-health intervention with children, adolescents, and families. Organize by the three levels of prevention.
Key takeaways
- Primary = prevention (education, screening, risk reduction).
- Secondary = early detection and treatment.
- Tertiary = managing established illness and reducing disability.
- PMH-APRNs can expand via screening, collaboration, advocacy, and access.
- 250+ words, scholarly, APA, 2+ references.
The three levels of intervention
Organize around prevention levels for child/adolescent mental health:
- Primary: prevention and promotion — parent/teacher education, mental-health screening in schools and primary care, early risk identification.
- Secondary: early detection and prompt treatment of emerging disorders (e.g., DMDD), reducing progression.
- Tertiary: managing established, complex illness to limit disability and support functioning and family coping.
Expanding the PMH-APRN role
Discuss how PMH-APRNs expand their impact — integrating behavioral health into primary care, telepsychiatry to widen access, interprofessional and family collaboration, advocacy and policy, and leadership in prevention programs.
Format
