Thank you, @HuffPost. What we really are seeing, and [what] I think this study emphasizes, is that when moms are experiencing significant stress, it’s actually getting into the architecture of the babies’ brains. #maternalmentalhealth huffpost.com/entry/natural-d… via @huffpostparents

Those struggling with mental illness are not receiving the interventions that could save their life. It's unjust. Everyone deserves access to care, and mental health is no exception. For Mental Illness Awareness week, join me in advocating for change. #MIAW

Happy to share that 988–the new US mental health hotline– is live. As a child psychiatrist, I look forward to being an advocate for solutions to support the mental health needs of children from 0-18 and their families.
Today is a historical day for #suicideprevention & #mentalhealth in the U.S.! The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, can be more easily reached by calling or texting 988, or chatting on 988lifeline.org. #988Lifeline

As a child psychiatrist, I want to validate that it is ok to focus on what you and your kids need right now to create a safe space together.

At Little Otter, we strongly believe that parents are the experts on their children. “When parents sense something is ‘off’ or wrong, they’re usually right." @Helenegger via @Healthline Learn the signs your child may need mental health support. 👇 bit.ly/3FeWHhw
