Poster 61 - Access to Family-Centered Care: A Critical Look at Historical Trends, Present Challenges, and the Effects on Marginalized Communities
Description

In this session, we will explore the intersection of medical and behavioral health, highlighting the importance of integrated healthcare models. We will discuss key research findings, practical examples, and strategies for overcoming challenges in providing holistic, patient-centered care. Additionally, I will share my experience in founding a nonprofit that assists families with the costs of family-centered care. The session aims to equip attendees with tools to better collaborate across disciplines, enhance patient outcomes, and break down the barriers between comprehensive physical and mental health services.
