Physician Advisor Joins TeenScreen |
|
|
|
| John H. Genrich, M.D., a pediatrician from Colorado Springs, Colo., joins TeenScreen this month as
its new Physician Advisor.
In this role, Dr. Genrich will liaise with primary care providers across the U.S. to offer guidance on
offering mental health checkups to adolescents in a primary
care setting. |
Dr. Genrich treats adolescents in his practice. He has found that
offering a mental health checkup as part of a teen’s regular health
assessment is easy to do and effective in identifying youth at risk for
depression and other mental illnesses. He will share best practices on
how to incorporate mental health checkups into practice as part of his
new TeenScreen post.
Dr. Genrich also will speak publicly about mental health checkups at policy briefings, webinars,
and through media interviews.
