During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of pediatric patients being admitted to Cook Children's Medical Center for mental health symptoms hit record levels.

As parents, we sometimes find ourselves unsure of how to respond to something our child has said. If a child or teen says they don't want to be alive anymore, what should you do? This is the question we asked Kia Carter, M.D., medical director of Inpatient Psychiatry at Cook Children's Medical Center. Dr. Carter oversees a 15-bed psychiatry unit at the Rees Jones Behavioral Health Center at Cook Children's. In this episode of Raising Joy, Dr. Carter explains when you should take your child to the emergency room for mental health concerns, and what admission into the psychiatry unit is like for the patient and their family.

Buffalo. Uvalde. Tulsa. Horrific news coverage of mass shootings seems to be endless and it is impacting the mental health of children and parents. Especially parents. So how can we help our children and help ourselves get through these incredibly difficult times? We ask experts Kia Carter, M.D., and Cameron Brown, D.Min., M.Div., BSSW to guide us. Dr. Carter is the medical director of inpatient Psychiatry at Cook Children's Medical Center and recounts the discussion she had with her own young daughter after the Uvalde school shooting. She advises parents to talk to their children about events like the shooting in Uvalde, and revisit the conversation often. Dr. Brown is a chaplain at Cook Children's and served as a firefighter with the Fort Worth Fire Department for more than 30 years. Her expertise is caring for the caretakers, such as the first responders and emergency room staff who witness tragedies involving children. She was also a first responder on the scene of the Wedgewood Baptist Church shooting in Fort Worth in 1999, which killed seven people and wounded an additional seven. We hope this episode of Raising Joy offers a sense of community as we all process these traumas together. And we hope it provides reliable information that parents can put to use. Raising Joy is part of Cook Children's Health Care System's Joy Campaign, a communications initiative aimed at preventing youth suicides.

Mother and daughter share the same cardiologist Transcript 00:00:02 Host Hello and welcome to Cook Children's Doc Talk. Today we're talking with Dr. Scott Pilgrim, who is the medical director of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease program here at Cook Children's. Dr. Pilgrim is board-certified in pediatrics, internal medicine, pediatric cardiology and adult congenital cardiology.

Welcome Dr. Pilgrim. 00:00:42 Dr. Pilgrim Thank you. 00:00:43 Host So growing up with a sister who had heart surgery as a child had a major influence in your life, and ultimately led you to your role here at Cook Children's as medical director of the ACHD program, compared to many other cardiac specialties, adult congenital as a specialty is relatively new, can you give us a little history. 00:01:03 Dr. Pilgrim So, as you mentioned, my sister was born with a congenital heart disease. And so growing up with this in my family, it became of interest to me at a very young age. But as a field, congenital heart disease is something that has been around obviously, for several decades, this field of adult congenital heart disease has grown primarily because of the success stories that we've had in pediatric cardiology, namely, the surgical outcomes and the longevity of patients related to improved surgical care, improved surgical technique, you know, recognizing disease, early on fetal diagnosis, and so on and so forth. And so the incidence of congenital heart disease really hasn't changed. But the lifespan of individuals growing up with congenital heart disease has tremendously improved.
