Abstract
This study proposes integrating validated screening tools (SWYC, SDQ, PHQ-15, GHQ-28) and brief psychotherapeutic interventions into pediatric outpatient care to identify developmental, behavioral, and emotional issues in children and parents. The project aims to improve early detection, provide targeted interventions, and enhance psychological well-being and patient satisfaction.
