The Bringing the Village to the Children virtual forum summer lecture series seeks to highlight important topics related to collaborative care and systems-based approaches to improving children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing. Each engaging 60-minute session features a thought-provoking panel discussion between a leading child and adolescent psychiatrist and a community expert, followed by live audience Q&A. Together, they’ll explore innovative, team-based approaches to supporting young people’s mental health and emotional well-being.

Be part of the conversation. Be part of the solution.

Join AACAP for an opportunity to learn from an experienced faculty member in pediatric consultation-liaison psychiatry regarding issues of career development, with specific focus on the transition from training to attending roles within a CL clinical position. The first part of the program will involve an interview with Dr. Lauren Deaver, an early career CL psychiatrist within the Duke program, regarding her initial experience transitioning from fellowship to practice, balancing clinical, administrative, research, and teaching responsibilities. She will provide a first-person account to highlight her transition experience with a focus on common clinical and systems questions and challenges that arose. A panel of senior and mid-career CL psychiatrists will then respond to her experiences with recommendations of best practices that could be helpful. Lastly, audience members will participate via chat to allow individual engagement.
