St. Paul, MN US

Join fellow primary care clinicians and pediatric care team members to learn from pediatric mental health experts about how to address gaps in practice and incorporate new information to effectively manage mental and behavioral health issues in adolescents.

We recognize the increasing number of mental health concerns that are managed in the primary care office and aim to support the ongoing need for further education, training, and access to available local resources. This year's conference will again feature a prominent national keynote speaker, and several relevant topics including: social media, disordered eating, sleep dysfunction, anxiety and depression management, suicidality, self-harm, vaping, sexual and gender health and psychiatric pearls for primary care.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: ADAM ALTER

In his New York Times bestseller Drunk Tank Pink, Adam Alter offered a revelatory look at how our environment unconsciously, yet dramatically, shapes the decisions we make. Rather than being in control of every single one of our choices, we’re powerfully influenced by a laundry list of external forces, often without ever realizing it. Today, it’s impossible to ignore that the whole world has changed, and with it, our environments. Whether temporarily or permanently, COVID-19 has altered almost every aspect of how we live, work, and play. A psychology professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Alter reminds us that while behaviors do change after tremendous events such as the pandemic, they often change for shorter periods than we anticipate. So what aspects of the “new normal” will stick in the post-pandemic future? In his brilliant, psychology-informed talks, Alter shows us how we can navigate these shifting experiences, both inside the workplace and out, and increase our productivity, happiness, and fulfillment moving forward.

Alter is also the author Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked, a groundbreaking study on why tech-based products and experiences are so hard to ignore (or put down). Our obsessions with platforms like Netflix or Snapchat are no accident, but the result of careful work by tech companies and marketers. Alter reverse-engineers behavioral addiction, explaining how we can harness addictive products for the good: meaning better savings, improved communications, and clearer boundaries between work and play, pleasure and business. He has shared his insights on the TED mainstage, delivering a talk that was so popular—one of the top ten of the year—he was invited back a second time. Aside from his bestselling books, Alter has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, WIRED, and Slate, among other publications. He has shared his ideas at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity and with dozens of companies, including Google, Microsoft, Anheuser Busch, Prudential, and Fidelity, as well as with design and ad agencies around the world. 

In addition to his position at New York University’s Stern School of Business, where he is an Associate Professor of Marketing, Alter has an affiliated appointment with the University’s Psychology Department. He currently sits on the World Economic Forum steering committee, a board dedicated to investigating the risks and benefits of emerging augmented reality technologies. Alter received his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of New South Wales and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from Princeton University, where he held the Charlotte Elizabeth Procter Honorific Dissertation Fellowship and a Fellowship in the Woodrow Wilson Society of Scholars
