Please join the Diversity and Roundtable Committee at our annual round table discussion. This year in keeping with the Presidential initiative, we will focus on 4 different innovative integrated behavioral health models across the country, highlighting cross-cultural differences across diverse primary care practices. These novel programs will include: data from a NJ Pediatric Collaborative Project that examined the clinical profile and initial consult results for African American and Latino children vs. white children, examining the challenges in access-children receiving therapy and disparities in consultations; a California a model of a behavioral health consultant co-located in a PCC programs serving a predominantly racial/ethnically/linguistically diverse Medicaid patient population and barriers existing in implementation of screening procedures in primary care for this underserved population; a Boston program that has been looking at the implementation of integrated care and will discuss the cultural aspects of this care and importance of diversity; and finally early findings and experiences from the H3 Chicago project, a partnered formative a evaluation approach to the development of feasible and effective integrated care models in diverse and underserved communities of Chicago. The presenters will work through the challenges these novel programs have faced in the development and treatment of mental health issues of ethnically and racially diverse children in a primary care setting. We invite you to join this timely conversation and leave with concrete guidance about the thoughtful inclusion of diverse children and families in novel integrated behavioral health models.
