The goal of this presentation is to enhance engagement with older adult populations and highlight assessment approaches that are tailored to their unique clinical presentations. Participants will review how behavioral health symptoms may present differently in older adults and how screening and intervention strategies can be adapted based on patient needs, symptom profiles, and functional status. The session will explore practical strategies for improving engagement in behavioral health care among older adults, including the use of brief behavioral health interventions that can be effectively delivered within integrated care settings. Emphasis will be placed on the role of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) in supporting population health approaches to behavioral health treatment for older adults. Through screening, measurement-based care, and team-based coordination, integrated care models can expand access to behavioral health services while addressing preventable utilization.
