This chapter focuses on assisting the traditionally trained mental health provider in becoming familiar with disease-specific psychological guidelines, as well as serving as a handy resource of medical information for the experienced practitioner. The reader will then be introduced to specific guidelines relevant for the mental health provider in working with children and adolescents with specific medical conditions, including cystic fibrosis, obesity, diabetes mellitus type 1, asthma, food allergies, chronic pain, and epilepsy. Relevant websites for accessing guidelines for these medical conditions are identified, as well as critical resources for clinicians, such as information about how to respond in the event of a seizure, a sample asthma action plan, recommendations for obesity treatment based on the patient’s age, and recommended depression and anxiety screeners that are commonly used in primary care.
