There are a number of models of integrated care, with the collaborative care and primary care behavioral health models being the most well-known and evidence-supported (Kallenberg & Sieber, 2024; Reiter et al., 2018; Yonek et al., 2020). Currently, integrated behavioral health exists in multiple forms in Rhode Island. In this article we will describe the current landscape and future directions of integrated behavioral health (IBH) at Hasbro Children's Pediatric Primary Care Clinic, including the team makeup, goals, and common reasons for consultation. Our aim is to help community providers, both pediatric and behavioral health providers better understand the IBH team and describe the types of services provided.</p>","PeriodicalId":101223,"journal":{"name":"The Brown University Child and Adolescent Behavior Letter","volume":"41 2","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the inner world — depression, anxiety, suicide, substance use, bullying, romance, even possible first-episode psychosis which takes place during these years, can emerge. Medically, the pediatrician is probably leaving the child's medical team, and new providers — adult providers — will be taking over.
