This session introduces the Pediatric Collaborative Care Pathways, an evidence-informed framework designed to enhance integrated behavioral health care for children ages 6–11 in primary care settings utilizing the collaborative care model (CoCM). Participants will learn about the current evidence base and research gaps for implementation of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) for pediatric patients and how the pediatric collaborative care pathways were developed to address the unique needs of younger children. The session will cover key strategies for screening, differential diagnosis, symptom monitoring, and brief evidence-based interventions. Through case-based discussions and interactive learning, attendees will gain practical tools to apply these pathways in clinical practice.
