What’s Next for Children’s Behavioral Health Workforce?

Care, Technology and Community

A regional conference which focused on the impact of technology on the children’s behavioral health workforce.

A decade from now, the way we deliver behavioral health care for children may be unrecognizable.

After decades of concern about workforce shortages, technology is now doing work that was once reserved for licensed clinicians.

The keynote address from Dr. Tom Insel provided an overview of the intersection between care delivery and technology.

Presentations and panel discussions explored innovative models of care delivery, data on the workforce across the region, integrating a more diverse workforce, and the pace of change in our system of care.

The conference provided an opportunity for leaders from across New England to explore these issues, share best practices, and collaborate on what the future of care delivery could look like in practice.
