CASBHC Lunch and Learn Series 2025 (February 27, 2025)

Program Information

School-based health centers (SBHCs) play a key role in connecting youth to health services, including primary care. Despite some literature exploring their mental health services, little is known about the role SBHCs play in screening for and treating eating disorders. In this study, we surveyed 56 SBHC providers, assessing their familiarity with providing care and screening for mental health concerns, including eating disorders. We also qualitatively explored areas to improve efforts around mental health care and screening. In this lunch and learn, we will share the results of the study, screening methods, emerging themes focusing on the gaps in mental health care, and next steps.

This activity will meet on February 27, 2025 from 12:00 - 1:30PM ET.
