This panel discussion seeks to illuminate the complex healthcare needs of youth with law enforcement involvement by delving into their experiences in medical settings. It will explore the prevalence of law enforcement in pediatric medical settings, the challenges faced by both patients and clinical teams, and the intersection of acute care, behavioral health crises, and legal issues. The session will also address the impact of law enforcement on healthcare delivery and patient experiences, as well as explore how implicit bias can shape clinical interactions. By integrating insights from experts and focusing on trauma-informed and equitable approaches, this panel will offer practical strategies to improve the continuity of care and health outcomes for this historically vulnerable population, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to address these critical issues in their practice.
