Addressing the Pediatric Mental Health Emergency in Clinical Settings
VIRTUAL WORKSHOP AND DISCUSSION FORUM - Illinois Physicians Collaborative in Support of Children’s Mental Health
Event has passed and registration is closed
Access to mental health has long been a challenge, even for those of means. Join us for an interdisciplinary collaboration of pediatricians, family medicine physicians, and psychiatrists as they present different case vignettes and discuss their respective approaches to case formulation and management. Learn from the experts working in collaborative care and take a step towards greater access to the gold-standard of care provided to Illinois patients. Topics for discussion include developmental disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder,) regulation disorders (e.g., ADHD, mood disorders), and trauma in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

TARGET AUDIENCE: Illinois Physicians.
GOALS: This symposium will help participants improve clinical outcomes for youth with psychiatric presentations in the outpatient setting, particularly in underserved areas. Learners will become more skilled in diagnostic clarification, psychoeducation to youth and guardians, safety risk assessment, and determination of level-of-care for youth who present with functional impairment in the context of atypical neurodevelopment and/or mood dysregulation. Effective interdisciplinary communication, collaboration and advocacy between physicians who primarily work with youth (e.g., pediatricians; child and adolescent psychiatrists), as well as quality improvement in healthcare systems and structural determinants of health will also be addressed.
OBJECTIVES:
Recognize clinical presentations of children and adolescents with atypical neurodevelopment (e.g., detecting variability in presentation of autism spectrum disorder).
Differentiate types of mood dysregulation and challenges in self-regulation (e.g., bipolar disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder).
Determine appropriate action when a child or adolescent presents with suicidal ideation (e.g., assess risk and protective factors).
Discuss changes in practice models of clinical care and interprofessional collaboration that increase access to mental health care (e.g., addressing systems of care).
