Beyond the SSRI: Assessment and Treatment of Depression and Anxiety in Pediatric Palliative Care (SA506)

Depression and anxiety are prevalent in pediatric palliative care and a source of significant distress for patients and parents. Despite increasing recognition of the need to address these symptoms, many palliative care providers have limited psychiatric training and limited access to psychology services. This session includes pediatric palliative care providers trained in adult and child psychiatry and psychology to increase attendees' skills to address these symptoms in children, teenagers, and young adults cared for by pediatric palliative care teams.
