A new $11.7 million award from the National Institute of Mental Health aims to help Northwestern Medicine investigators move the dial on the youth mental health crisis by targeting early warning signs of mental health risk in toddlers, rather than waiting until diagnosable and severe conditions are present later in childhood.
In this episode, Lauren Wakschlag, PhD, who is co-leading this grant, explains how the team will implement evidence-based developmental decision tools to determine "when to worry" about young children's mental health.
