As the gateway to the health system for the great majority of Australians, GPs are in a pivotal role to support children’s social and emotional wellbeing. This course equips GPs with the skills to engage in preventative conversations with parents about their children's social and emotional wellbeing. It is based on the understanding that parental, family, or social adversity can have a direct impact on children’s mental health and trains GPs in using the PERCS Conversation Guide as a tool to buffer children from these impacts.
