Critical Elements of Inclusive Care while Caring for Adolescent and Young Adults
10:35 AM - 11:30 AMSummary
In this era of Global Health, Population Health, and Health Equities, the compartmentalized-individualized healthcare setting structure is a present urgent barrier to peeling off the many layers of development and bringing the context and environment of our youth's lives to the center of our care. Social factors are the more potent determinants of health. Minority youth and immigrant youth/families have a higher share of negative social determinants of health on their shoulders. Helping them thrive requires a new model of care that embraces wellness and positive youth development at its center. Adolescence is also one of the most challenging intergenerational transitions for families, particularly those with parents and youth with unmet health needs or those who migrate to a new culture, as this usually widens the intergenerational gap, highlighting the need for integrative family-focused care. Finding ways to respond to the care of our minority/immigrant community is a critical challenge in the middle of the clinic. This workshop will share why cultural identity is so relevant to adolescent development and ways of designing inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and family-centered teams while grounded in confidential care (depending on the country's laws). The authors will describe a blueprint for inclusive, developmentally appropriate care design in this workshop. Participants will obtain concrete tools to implement some workshop contents into their clinical practices.
If accepted, this Proposal presented by the Adolescent and Young Adult SIG will be one of several workshops aiming to create a TRACK. Participants will receive a Certificate if they attend them all and complete each workshop evaluation.
