Description
The Pediatric Experience Collaborative's 2024 Spring Summit will be held virtually on Friday, April 26th. The theme will be Beyond Beds & Waitlists: Improving Mental Healthcare Experiences in Pediatrics. This year‘s virtual Spring Summit will focus on pediatric mental healthcare in two parts. First, how youth are experiencing the mental healthcare system before, during and after mental health crises or diagnoses. And second, mental health challenges that can stem from the traumas and stresses of the medical healthcare journey. We will discuss how we are understanding these varied experiences, how different mental health service models may improve access, and best practices for supporting patients and families during their wait for services.
