Pediatric mental health is a priority, and pediatricians take a proactive role in identifying and addressing challenges. Through routine screenings and open conversations, they assess a child's emotional well-being, providing early interventions when needed. Collaborating with mental health professionals, pediatricians create a supportive network for families, emphasizing the integral role of mental health in overall well-being. By reducing stigma and fostering open communication, they contribute to creating a culture where mental health is prioritized from a young age, setting the stage for a lifetime of emotional resilience. #PediatricMentalHealth #ChildrensWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #EarlyIntervention #ChildhoodResilience #OpenConversations #StigmaFreeKids #PediatricCare #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingForMentalHealth #MindfulParenting #WellnessFirst #SupportingKids #EmotionalWellbeing #BuildingResilience

Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) are protective experiences that help heal the brain from trauma and promote healthy mental health in adulthood. They can look different for each child and family. PCEs allow children to form strong relationships and meaningful connections, cultivate positive self-image and self-worth, experience a sense of belonging, a sense that they matter, and build skills to cope with stress in healthy ways. https://buff.ly/48PggLx

Everyone doesn’t have the capacity to break generational cycles. 🤷♂️ However, EVERYONE does have the capacity to START new cycles. 🌱➡️🌳 I would even take this a step further. It’s our generational RESPONSIBILITY to plant the seeds we want to see flourish in our lives and the lives of our children—starting with mental wellness. “Nearly 50% of all mental illnesses begin in childhood before the age of 14 years, and over 20% of parents have a mental illness,” according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). It’s imperative that parents take their mental wellness seriously because we all deserve care without compromise. We all deserve to be well. As adults who choose to become parents, we also have a responsibility to our children to model healthy habits and connect our children to resources that allow them to prioritize their mental wellness too. This is how you start new cycles and grow branches of care and well-being within your family. #Entrepreneur #Founder #Healthcare #PediatricCare #Miami #Parenting #Innovation #Accessibility #CareWithoutCompromise #GenerationalResponsibility #MentalHealth #MentalWellbeing

On World Mental Health Day, let's focus on a crucial yet often overlooked area: the mental health of older adults. As clinicians, we know that supporting older adults comes with unique challenges. From managing complex physical health comorbidities to navigating grief, social isolation, and cognitive decline, each patient presents a distinctive set of needs. Beyond this, there’s the nuance of providing culturally sensitive care, recognizing the generational stigma around mental health, and addressing gaps in access to appropriate resources. Given these complexities, what keeps us motivated is the opportunity to support our patients in maintaining a high quality of life. We can make a positive impact in their lives. But are we truly equipped to meet the mental health needs of an aging population? How do we ensure that our approaches are both effective and compassionate? 💡 To spark a conversation, I’d love to hear your thoughts on these three questions: 🔷 Which aspect of older adults’ mental health do you find most challenging to address in your practice? 🔷 What is the most significant barrier to accessing mental health services for older adults in your community? 🔷 What type of professional support or resources would enhance your ability to care for this population? Join the discussion and share your experiences below ⬇️ #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth #OlderAdults #GeriatricCare #MentalHealthClinicians #AgingPopulation #HealthcareProfessionals #MentalHealthSupport #Geriatrics #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalCare #WellbeingInAging

As an OB/GYN, I've witnessed countless new mothers struggle silently with postpartum mental health issues. Their eyes tell a story their lips can't speak - one of overwhelming anxiety, crushing self-doubt, and a deep sense of isolation. It's heart-wrenching to see these women, who should be basking in the joy of new motherhood instead of drowning in a sea of unexpected emotions. We in the medical community must do better. Mental health support isn't a luxury—it's a crucial part of postpartum care.   A simple "How are you coping?" can be the key to unlocking a flood of relief for a struggling mother. To my colleagues: Let's champion comprehensive mental health screenings and support systems for new families. To new mothers: Your feelings are valid, and help is available. You're not alone in this journey. Together, we can create a safety net of compassion and professional support, ensuring that every new family has the resources they need to thrive - both physically and emotionally. #mothers #love #NEETPG #next #fmge #inicet #mcq #MBBS #mbbsstudent #studyhacks #ObstetricsBook #MedicalStudents #MedicalStudies #MD #MS #MCH #BlogPost #PostGrads #obstetricslearning #DCD #nursingstudent #MedicalBooks #TextBookOfObstetrics #textbookofgynecology #bscnursingfirstyearbooks #bsc #nursing #MScNursing #GynecologyBook #chandrachur #chandrachurkonar #drroshinip 

“How are you doing?” It’s a simple question. Yet, ones just like it can often be the key that unlocks a patient’s mental health status—when asked the right way. In May, the U.S. celebrates #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. We’re taking this opportunity to spotlight a tricky issue in the mental health landscape: Getting children access to the care they need. But how do we identify the children who most need this kind of care? Often, the gateway is pediatricians and the screenings in their intake forms. If you ask the team behind the patient intake system Yosi Health, something as simple as a better-designed intake form can be what flags a pediatric patient for a mental health follow-up. Let’s take a look at how such simple yet effective interventions work 👉 https://lnkd.in/eyn6xftn

🌟 Investing in Child Mental Health: A Win for Kids and Clinicians Alike 🌟 The importance of mental health in children cannot be overstated, and programs that support this are invaluable. A recent journal paper highlights the significant impact of child mental health initiatives—not just for the kids, but for the clinicians who work with them. These programs are proving to be essential in fostering healthier futures. At the Centre for Community Child Health, a variety of initiatives are making a difference: ✅ Family Partnership ✅ Group Facilitation ✅ Reflective Practice ✅ Family-Centred Practice ✅ Children's Sleep & Development ✅ School Readiness …and many more! Programs like these don't just address immediate needs; they create a foundation for long-term growth and well-being. The combination of specialized support for children and practical tools for clinicians means better outcomes for all involved. 🧠💡 Read more about the research here: https://lnkd.in/gkfiNGSk Learn more about the Centre’s work here: https://lnkd.in/gqDyrQw9 #MentalHealth #ChildDevelopment #ClinicianSupport #CommunityHealth #FamilyPartnership #Healthcare

Never thought about the process: how do you check a child’s mental health? Same as for adults, you ask them. But what is difficult for adults is even trickier for children. The article below is a great spotlight of this challenge. It points out that children might not want to disclose sensitive issues in front of their parents. Depending on age, different involvement can be seen but the traditional process does not reflect that challenge. So #digitalhealth can enable better care for pediatricians through pre-appointment data collection and flagging of risks. “With rising numbers of pediatric mental health emergencies, catching cases early is key. Improving and enabling screening makes it more likely that more children will be referred to the care they need.”
