The Healthy Minds/Healthy Children Outreach Service is part of Alberta's strategy to increase the capacity of primary care providers to identify and treat children and youth with mental health issues. Program development, implementation, and interim results are presented. Particular challenges connecting with Aboriginal communities, developing resources, and providing clinical consultation and online professional development are discussed. Evaluation data suggest that this form of collaborative, educational, interprofessional service is a promising approach to narrowing the care gap for children with mental health issues
