Title: Whose Expectation is it Anyway? Access, Care and Humanization
Speakers:
Danielle Gerber, co-chair of Family Led Academic Grand Rounds, family engagement specialist, Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health

Cara Coleman, co-chair of Family Led Academic Grand Rounds

Session Overview:
Life is full of expectations — of ourselves, others, groups, professions, the law, ethics, morality and more. For children with disabilities, expectations are chronically low and often fueled by lack of knowledge, assumptions and apathy. One effective tool to combat these expectations and biases is to form partnerships between clinicians and families. Using stories from lived experience that illustrate examples of substandard care, dehumanization and inaccessibility, we will provide guidance on how to tackle barriers and discrimination together.

Families will present an aspect of their “case” as a story and then offer strategies to develop knowledge, skills and abilities to perform, or partner in, the essential activities of care of children with disabilities and/or medical complexity.
Target Audience: MD/DOs, Nurses, APRNs, PAs, Trainees including Residents, Fellows, Medical Students. Patients, Caregivers, and Community Members.
Global Learning Objectives:
As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will improve ability to:

Examine the roles of stories in communication, relationships, and interactions in the delivery of holistic collaborative pediatric care.
Identify the value of those with lived experience as teachers of medical education.
Analyze issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice relevant to pediatric care.

Title: Pediatric Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care: Assessing Symptoms, Navigating Treatment, and Communicating with Families to Optimize Outcomes
Session Overview:
Pediatric anxiety and depressive disorders are highly prevalent in primary care, and management of these conditions can present unique challenges related to assessment of symptoms, choice of treatment, and course of care. Communicating information to youth and parents about anxiety/depression, and treatment rationale, can be equally as challenging. This presentation will review core diagnostic considerations when assessing pediatric anxiety/depression symptoms, and the common association with stress. Treatment approaches of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy will be reviewed, with emphasis on when to treat and what interventions to consider, and monitoring trajectory of care. Optimizing an interprofessional treatment approach emphasizing effective communication among providers, and with patients/parents, will also be discussed.

Session Overview: In a 2024 advisory, “Parents Under Pressure,” the Surgeon General has outlined the stress and wellbeing of parents and caregivers is elevated compared to other adults. Social isolation is a common experience in parenting especially when a child is exhibiting challenging behaviors. In this session, we will work together to collaborate on how pediatricians can directly support and appropriately refer parents who are experiencing burnout and stress related to parenting.
