Generation Patient Roundtable: Medical Trauma & Addressing Mental Health in the Care of Young Adults with Chronic Conditions
Generation Patient’s Bàn tròn về người trẻ tuổi mắc bệnh mãn tính brought together a learning community of young adult patients, health care professionals, caregivers, researchers, policymakers, advocates, and others to explore the most pressing systems-level challenges impacting young adults living with chronic and rare conditions (see video recording below).
Co-authored by young adults with chronic conditions and members of the project team, proceedings for each roundtable will highlight key insights and actionable recommendations based on the roundtable discussion, and will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals.
During this second roundtable, participants identified how the health care community can best support patients experiencing medical trauma, such as centering the voices of young patients, normalizing conversations around mental health, and integrating mental health care with physical health care.
Roundtable #2 co-leaders:
- Kiran Rachamallu, young adult patient and Research Assistant, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
- Laura A. Pace, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.G., Clinical Assistant Professor and Physician-scientist, Stanford University
