Join Mike Bruner and PCBH SIG Co-Chair Rachael Mark for a meeting focused on the critical role of clinic culture in the success of integrated care models, particularly within primary care and behavioral health collaboration. Participants explore how clinic culture influences provider collaboration, patient engagement, team communication, and the sustainability of integrated behavioral health services. We discuss the characteristics of a positive clinic culture—including psychological safety, shared values, mutual respect, and openness to change—as well as common challenges such as role ambiguity, siloed workflows, and differing clinical philosophies. The PCBH SIG provides learning experiences to CFHA members, strengthens and grows the PCBH SIG Mentorship Connector, and works towards increasing its collaboration with other CFHA SIGs and committees as well as other national organizations with similar mission, vision, and values as CFHA. At every PCBH meeting, you can expect an update on what we are working on as well as either a webinar from experts in the field or a community conversation on timely and pertinent topics related to integrated care and PCBH service model delivery.

Join the PCBH SIG for a community conversation about using artificial intelligence in PCBH. Has your clinic incorporated it into your practice? What has your experience been? How could AI be helpful for integrated care, and how could it be harmful? Join us to share your thoughts and experiences!

The PCBH SIG invites you to a panel discussion on obesity management in PCBH.

In 2018, when a call to action for PTSD prevention and the need to expand behavioral health support was recognized at a systemic level, a partnership between Texas Tech University and the University Medical Center’s (UMC) Children’s Hospital emerged. UMC stakeholders wanted to develop a way to provide bed-side assessment and psycho education to patients in the PICU, NICU, and general pediatric floors, to help prevent the development of PTSD, and enhance the referral process for outpatient services designed to address risks associated with acute stress disorder and other pre-existing mental health and relational concerns.

Additionally, in 2023, key stakeholders expressed an interest in advancing Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) by funding an expanded presence within Pediatric Oncology. This online webinar will highlight the key factors in the successful development and implementation of IBH for pediatric specialty care, the unique aspects of collaboration of a medical and academic partnership, clinical trainee experiences, patient-family-provider perspectives, and lessons learned during program development. Considerations for other specialty care settings will also be discussed.

Join the new leadership team for the Primary Care Behavioral Health SIG for a discussion on hot topics on the CFHA listserv and ideas for PCBH SIG programming in the year to come.

Dr. Kathryn Fraser spoke to the SIG about mentoring unrepresentative professionals in a collaborative healthcare setting.

By the end of this webinar, viewers should be able to:

1. Identify the skills and challenges of URM professionals in collaborative HC settings.

2. Describe areas of growth for Mentors working with URM Mentees.

3. List strategies to provide culturally appropriate mentorship for URM professionals.

The development of clinical pathways for specific conditions and/or populations is a recurrent topic at CFHA conferences and in healthcare centers. Join the PCBH SIG for a discussion with Dr. Ogbeide and Dr. Bauman on real clinic experiences implementing pathways, the pros and cons of developing pathways, exploration of ways to foster interdisciplinary collaboration in the process and key considerations regarding health equity and access to care.

This PCBH presentation aims to increase competence in working with TGNB/TGE clients. Attendees will learn from Dr. Melissa Bailey about the history of transgender and non-binary health care in the United State, the gaps in clinical knowledge needed to work affirmatively with this population, and the clinician’s roles in supporting access to medical and legal transitions.

In this presentation, as a part of the April CFHA Primary Care Behavioral Health Special Interest Group meeting, participants addressed privilege, social determinants of health, and racism and their impact on the care we provide to Black patients in integrated primary care. Using videos, open dialogue, and experiential exercises, participants addressed individual and systemic level factors that contribute to health disparities in Black patients. Lastly, participants discussed strategies providers can use in interventions with Black patients.

This presentation will offer foundational information to understand LGBTQ identities and unique health disparities LGBTQ patients experience in primary care. It will also offer guidance on how to communicate with LGBTQ patients and their families in ways that will built trust and may increase patient disclosure.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity
• List 2 unique health care needs of LGBTQ patients.
• Describe 2 ways to communicate with LGBTQ people that improve trust and may increase disclosure.
