De- spite this knowledge, those studying to work on the front-lines of our healthcare system are not being sufficiently trained to recognize and address this critical connection underlying health outcomes. Integrat- ed Care (IC) is a best-practice model that promotes a whole-person, comprehensive, and inter-professional approach to understanding and treating individuals with both physical and behavioral health morbidities. In order to properly train future and current providers to deliver this best-practice care, we need to create a pipeline to care delivery that starts with education for students who are early in their academic development, and filters to high-quality, inter-professional clinical training environments that are available throughout later years of training. Training also must be specifically informed by data on practices, perceptions, attitudes, and barriers to IC education and delivery. Attendees will learn about perceptions and barriers to care and hear about the model of academic and clinical training and care delivery used across Rutgers Health. L earning O bjectives : At the end of this session, attendees will be able to: • Describe a model to develop an interdepartmental curriculum in integrated care that spans several schools of health sciences within an academic setting. • List steps and lessons learned in the implementation of integrat- ed primary care training/practice in academic medical settings. • Apply outcomes of survey research on integrated care to the development of educational/training programs, and clinical practice.

Over the past two years, amid a pandemic that has taken a disproportionate toll on Black and Brown people, mental health pro- fessionals continue to commit to addressing racism and reverse racist policies and practices in their institutions. However, learning about racism is not just taking a basic diversity course in the workplace. It is important for mental health professionals to uncover biases and be prepared to help families heal. This session will help provide an over- view of racism to understand the concerns that families of color face in society. The presenters will provide research-based techniques to help mental health professionals become anti-racist and learn how to better serve families who continue to experience discrimination. The session is unique in that not only does it help mental health profes- sionals uncover and face their own biases, but it also provides a guide for teaching anti-racism from infancy to adulthood. L earning O bjectives : At the end of this session, attendees will be able to: • Demonstrate an understanding of the history of race, racism and anti-racism. • Analyze the effects racism has on youth and families with mental health concerns. • Explain the importance of addressing bias within the workplace. • Develop strategies to discuss anti-racism with youth and adults.
