Adolescent Health GP Resource Kit, 2nd Edition has now been released

Enhancing the skills of General Practitioners in caring for young people from culturally diverse backgrounds. A joint initiative of NSW Centre for the Advancement of Adolescent Health (NSW CAAH) and Transcultural Mental Health Centre (TMHC)

This Kit outlines the skills needed for working with young people and their families, while addressing the developmental, cultural and environmental factors that influence their health.

Although this Kit is designed primarily for GPs, it is also useful for anyone working in the youth health sector.
 
The revised edition has also increased the emphasis on communication and youth-friendly consultation skills; revised and expanded sections on substance use, mental health, cultural competency, medico-legal issues, collaborative care, and the use of Medicare item numbers.
