Half of all lifetime mental health conditions begin by age 14, yet children and families navigate fragmented systems where access to appropriate care depends more on luck than design. Pediatric behavioral health challenges span prevention, early intervention, outpatient treatment, crisis response and acute care, requiring coordination across schools, primary care practices, community mental health agencies, hospitals and child-serving systems that too often operate in silos. Meanwhile, severe workforce shortages limit capacity regardless of funding, outdated practices including restraint and seclusion continue harming vulnerable children, and reimbursement structures fail to support evidence-based care models.
Business Research Intelligence Network's Pediatric Behavioral Health Summit brings together health system leaders, community mental health leaders, school administrators, pediatricians and policy advocates building coordinated care systems serving children across the full continuum of need. Attendees will explore strategies for embedding behavioral health in pediatric primary care, implementing school-based prevention and early intervention, developing crisis response alternatives to emergency departments, improving workforce recruitment and retention, advancing trauma-informed approaches replacing punitive discipline, and achieving financial sustainability for mission-driven programs serving vulnerable populations.
Whether strengthening existing programs or launching new initiatives, this summit provides actionable strategies for organizations committed to transforming pediatric behavioral health from crisis-driven, fragmented care toward coordinated systems centering children's dignity, rights and healing. The future of children's mental health depends on leaders willing to rethink how we organize, deliver and pay for care that meets children where they are.
