Event date to be announced! WIAAP is hosting “Youth Canvas: Painting the Picture of Mental Wellness” to address an arc of child and youth mental wellness, including the novel topic of youth mental health in the emergency medicine context.
The program will be dedicated to mental and behavioral health, focusing on what patient care looks like in a variety of settings and how they tie into the medical home. For the first time, we are expanding from primary care pediatricians and family physicians to a broad base of disciplines – EMS, mid-level clinicians, therapists, psychiatrists, and school health (nurses and counselors). Public health and legislative partners are encouraged to attend.
Didactic, interactive, panel, keynote and other sessions will provide educational and networking opportunities with peers with a goal of lifting up a systems of care approach, including the acknowledgment of reflective practice and secondary trauma. Central to programming will be the exploration of providing equitable, quality care for all children and families, and how to tie meaningfully into community resources that serve them.
