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 PCBH SIG Co-Chair Laura Shultz, PsyD, ABPP for a discussion on Identifying and Treating Neurocognitive Disorders in Primary Care

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.

Objectives: 1. Participants will be able to identify individual and clinic-level steps they could take to improve inclusivity for LGBTQIA+ patients in their practice. 2. Participants will have a better understanding of how to support gender-diverse patients within the primary care setting.

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.
