“…It seems to apply to arts, sports, and most professional activities. The various papers in this issue [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] of ECAP offer a perspective on how our trainees in Europe as well as other parts of the world spend their 10,000 h. They offer an overview of differences and similarities in length and content of training, but also on how we guide our trainees through their personal and professional development and help them spend those 10.000 h in the most productive and fruitful way to prepare to attend to children's mental health needs in the future.…”

About 20% of children in the United States (US) have a diagnosed mental health disorder; half of them did not receive treatment from a mental health professional pre-pandemic [1]. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing mental health burden and healthcare disparities [2]. Improving pediatric mental health outcomes positively impacts educational and judicial systems, family functioning, and future employment, and decreases caregiving costs [3]. But access to care has been partly limited by the workforce shortage in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP). We describe some possible solutions to this workforce shortage including introducing innovative shortened training pathways and tapping global trends in CAP training that efficiently address population needs.About 8300 physicians practice CAP in the US [4]; their distribution is skewed. Massachusetts has as many child and adolescent psychiatrists as Oklahoma, Indiana, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee combined, though 5 times as

In this chapter, we discuss how traditional and innovative strategies could help tackle this challenge. Epidemiology is an indispensable tool to assess needs for child and adolescent mental health care and help plan services. Active screening in multiple contexts using different approaches can assist in detecting cases. But a continuum of mental health care, from traditional interventions to innovative treatments delivered by digital technology and a variety of professionals, is needed to meet
