Description

This session presents a comprehensive, multimodal approach to integrated behavioral health in pediatric primary care settings using Walpole Pediatric Associates (WPA) as a case study. WPA’s approach to integrated behavioral health provides preventive, diagnostic, episodic, and long-term psychotherapy, as well as psychiatric medication management services as both direct and consultant service provision. By offering a continuum of psychotherapeutic services within the child’s pediatrician’s office, patients receive timely and accessible treatment, provided with multidisciplinary provider collaboration. The continuum of care also provides financial sustainability through established, dependable, and long-term funding sources.
