In today's video I am answering some of the questions I get from time to time from parents. I'm also chatting about some of the things that I find there to be confusion about regarding this weird time of stay-at-home orders.
The big take away is that there is still behavioral health support available to you, your child, and family. Just reach out to your preferred provider or PCP to figure out exactly what kind of services you may need and how to most safely access those services.
I, and many of my colleagues, have made note of the increased stress that parents and kids are experiencing recently. And daily stress can take it's toll.
You and your family deserve to have support and tools to manage that stress as best as you can. Even if you wouldn't say it's a "problem," you can still pick up some tools to feel better equipped with the day-to-day grind that is so hard for so many people right now. Whether you want a one- or two-session consult or traditional therapy that leads to big transformation of a more prominent difficulty, the behavioral health workforce is up and running!
I'm still feeling so inspired by the compassion that our world is showing to each other during the pandemic. Remember that self-compassion and refueling your tank will allow you to continuing being the rock star that you are!
Warmly,
Dr. Blevins
