One in thirteen Ohioans live with addiction, and nearly 1 in 4 struggle with a mental health condition.

The Momentum Replay Series replays our top episodes so that you have the chance to catch episodes you missed, and refresh on others. The idea is to support you more regularly as you take charge of 2023 (through whatever challenges may arise). Here's to health, wealth and wisdom on this heartfelt path of yours. In this episode I interview Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart, Pediatric Psychologist, Parent Coach, and owner of A New Day Pediatric Psychology. I have been waiting to share this episode – it is SO IMPORTANT for us to understand how to have conversations around race and racism with our children. As we move forward in our own growth towards antiracism and systemic change, we need open conversations coupled with learning from experts in this area. Dr. Lockhart is an expert on race (in fact my first learning with her was through her course on Understanding Racism, Prejudice, and Microaggressions) and an expert Pediatric Psychologist, having long supported children and families to cultivate wellbeing.  A particular area of Dr. Lockhart's wisdom is in how we support highly sensitive children in thriving, and in today's episode she beautifully discusses how we have conversations around race and racism with highly sensitive children. What is covered in this episode: >>A highly sensitive child may have a more acute awareness of interoception, their internal body state, causing them to become overwhelmed by stimulation. Highly sensitive children are not only sensitive to their senses but their environment as well. >>Children as young as 3-6 months old are able to notice when an individual appears physically different from their primary caregivers, which means they are not colorblind to race. >>By age three, they begin to associate positive and negative traits to those differences in physical appearances. By age five, if not educated or informed and surrounded by environments that discuss racist ideals, they may demonstrate more racist behaviours. >>How you can start talking to babies about race by introducing them to art, stories, toys, or cultural events about people and cultures different from their own. Teaching children to celebrate other cultures by understanding who they are, where they come from, and what languages they speak. It's also important to show children the not-so-beautiful side of history, to show how some people were mistreated because of their identities. >>In discussing race with a highly sensitive child, it's important to be mindful about how you introduce them to injustices that are occurring because they may internalize the information more deeply and might over-identify with those being oppressed.

They're called "psychotropic drugs" - drugs that affect a person's mind, emotions, and behavior and are prescribed to treat mental illness. Nationally, the use of these drugs has steadily increased in children of all ages, including pre-schoolers. What are the long-term effects of these drugs in young people? Why are they used so often? And why are Black children disproportionately prescribed these medications? On Another View on Health, we have an open discussion about overmedicating our kids. Our guests include Dr. Gretchen LeFever Watson, Clinical and Pediatric Psychologist; and Sade Daniels, Managing Training Director, California Youth Connection.

Dr. Upshaw works with a team whose role is helping kids cope with the day-to-day stress of pediatric cancer.

She shares the unique struggles that the youngest children might have as they're going through major developmental milestones during treatment, as well as the challenges that older teenagers have in transitioning to adult health care—and how her team can help these groups better navigate these phases. Dr. Upshaw also shares several of her quick strategies for improving sleep and dealing with anxiety, and the importance of establishing boundaries while kids are on treatment. They close the conversation by talking about breaking down the stigma around mental health care, and Dr. Upshaw expresses what an honor it is to be invited into someone's journey during such a challenging time.

Have you ever been on your way out the door, and then one of your kids flopped on the ground like a fish, because they wanted a different color backpack? Or put a well-fed and properly hydrated preschooler to bed only to have them come out of their room 5 minutes later and ask for a drink? These moments can be frustrating, but a lot of times, it's the moving from one thing to another that actually drives the child's behaviour. Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart is a pediatric psychologist specializing in helping people with medical issues find alternative treatments. She is going to help us unpack why change can be so hard to deal with and how we can make it easier. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/38bavtU

The devastating toll of the pandemic has underscored the critical importance of connecting what science is telling us to the lived experiences of people and communities. In March of 2020, we recorded episodes exploring the impact the coronavirus pandemic could have on child development. Now, a year later, we wanted to continue these conversations and discuss what we've learned, what needs to change, and where we go from here. Contents Podcast Speakers Additional Resources Transcript In the final episode in this special series, host Sally Pfitzer speaks with Dr. Nancy Rotter, a pediatric psychologist and the Director of Psychology in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Ambulatory Care Division at Massachusetts General Hospital. They discuss how the pandemic changed conversations around mental health, why we need to integrate mental health into the context of overall health, and what caregivers can do to help children prepare for the lessening of restrictions and the return to school.

I'm your host Sally Pfitzer. In March of 2020, we recorded episodes exploring the impact the coronavirus pandemic could have on child development. You may remember we discussed the importance of self-care for caregivers, and the importance of physical distancing, not social distancing.  And now a year later, we wanted to continue those conversations and discuss what we've learned, what needs to change, and where we go from here. Joining us on today's podcast, we have Dr. Nancy Rotter. She's a pediatric psychologist and the Director of Psychology in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Ambulatory Care Division, at Mass General Hospital. Thanks so much for being with us today, Nancy. Dr. Rotter: Thanks for having me, Sally. Sally: So, the pandemic has made conversations about mental health more common and perhaps even less stigmatized. How do we make sure that this perspective and these conversations continue even as vaccines become available and restrictions are lessened? Dr. Rotter: You know, I agree that there has been some shifting over time in terms of awareness and acknowledgement about mental health and specifically...

Today's episode is an encore of an interview I did with Dr. Lisa Horowitz last fall. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth 15-24. Dr. Horowitz talks about how pediatricians can incorporate the Ask Suicide Screening Questions (ASQ) screening tool into their practice to help identify children and adolescents at risk of suicide and to link them to coordinated care.    Dr. Lisa Horowitz is a Staff Scientist and Pediatric Psychologist at the Nation Institute of Mental Health Intermural Research Program at NIMH. The major focus of her research has been detection of suicide risk in the medical setting. She is the head PI in several ‘Suicide Prevention Protocols' using the ASQ Toolkit. She assists hospitals, schools, and pediatric centers in implementing Suicide Screening of patients.    The Hotline for Suicide Prevention is 1-800-273-8255. Crisis Text Line: text HOME to 741741  [00:01 - 10:54] Dr. Lisa Horowitz Shares Her Story    I introduce my guest, Dr. Lisa Horowitz Dr. Horowitz shares a bit of her background  How Dr. Horowitz got into her line of work  Realizing the need for developing a suicide screening tool  The Creation of ASQ    [10:55 - 22:25] How To Implement Suicide Risk Screening When It's Outside of Your Medical Training  The pushback Dr. Horowitz experienced when trying to implement Ask Suicide Screening Questions (ASQ) Toolkit Creating a script for Nurses or practitioners that will help parents and patients feel comfortable  Using appropriate language when checking up on patient's mental health  Doctor's fear about patient's screening positive for suicide risk    [22:26 - 49:48]  How What Dr. Horowitz Did in the Emergency Room Translates To Primary Care   Despite suicide being the 2nd leading cause of death, most health care professionals are not trained in dealing with it  Dr. Horowitz tells a pediatrician superhero story about Dr. Ted Abernathy “He's not worried about all the ones he's going to catch. He's worried about the ones he's going to miss.”   What a practitioner should do if they get a positive screening  Conducting the 2nd tier safety assessment Creating safety plans for the patient with the ASQ toolkit   Having experts with mental health experience and training in the clinic is ideal Partnering with mental health professionals or partnering with your local crisis hotline  Having the patient return to your office in a few days until you can secure them with a mental health professional     Asking about access to lethal means particularly firearms Disrupting at-risk patient's means of suicide can be a big lifesaver  Fostering resilience  Checking your own emotional regulation  [49:48 - 00:00]   Closing Segment  Pediatricians can make a difference  To learn more about the ASQ, please refer to the link below  Final Takeaways:  The ASQ is a lot more sensitive than the PHQ9  It is OK to ask parents to step outside the room  It's a myth that asking will put suicidal ideas who weren't thinking about suicide  This can be implemented in a primary care setting; Listen to next week's episode on how it can be implemented in a way it makes sense  We can make a difference by using these 5 questions  Never forget to ask about lethal means of access.   Tweetable Quotes: “If you're really thinking, ‘I went into medicine to save lives.' Suicide prevention is saving lives.” - Dr. Lia Gaggino  “People are so worried about the liability of asking [about suicide risk]. What about the liability if you don't ask.” - Dr. Lisa Horowitz “Let this be a call to action because every single health care worker can make a difference in somebody's life by asking.” - Dr. Lisa Horowitz Resources Mentioned: Video:...

Today's Guest is Dr  Roseann. A successful psychologist, helping children and adults alike.  As a practicing psychologist, Dr. Roseann could see the writing on the wall when the Corona Virus became a global concern. In January of 2020, Dr. Roseann founded The Global Institute of Children's Mental Health, advocating for holistic treatment in mental health, believing all symptoms can be reversed or reduced. Forbes has called her “a thought-leader in children's mental health.” Her focus is to change the way we view mental health and treatment for it, especially when it comes to children. It's important - now, in these uncertain times, more than ever - to be able to effectively guide one's patients, students, clients and children through their chosen therapies successfully. Dr. Roseann's evidence-based holistic approach can help many children (and their parents and families) who have tried everything else under the sun. In this episode, we delve into healing and addressing mental health holistically -- especially in children, teens, but adults alike.  Dr. Roseann's extensive background in Psychotherapy, Neurotehpaty, and her own experiences as a parent makes her an expert in the field. . We cover topics ranging from:~ Teletherapy ToolkitTM: Therapist Handbook for TreatingChildren and Teens: Why teletherapy is needed morethan ever~ How to keep special needs children engaged virtually ~Signs and symptoms of anxiety in children ~The 5 things a therapist can do right now to help ananxious child ~Tips for working and learning from home during theCoronavirus Pandemic~ How to talk to children about the Coronavirus andmanaging disappointmentsIIf you find this information helpful you can support the show below: https://www.venmo.com/healyounaturallyhttps://www.paypal.me/healyounaturally​ Thanks in advance!Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/healyounaturally)
