Event Objectives:

  • Utilize effective in-office de-escalation strategies and immediately establish core safety measures for pediatric patients experiencing an acute psychological crisis.
  • Integrate knowledge of adolescent confidentiality laws and high-risk factors (trauma, LGBTQ+ status) to structure challenging patient encounters and determine appropriate parental involvement.
