We have had experiences with family and friends and, just like Katie mentioned, as parents have kids that are in crisis and are struggling, they don't know where to turn and sometimes they'll be searching, and there just aren't enough resources to accommodate all the kids that are needing the help right now.
Imagine being a child today, grappling with the pressures of social isolation, endless screen time, and missed milestones. It's a lot to handle, and Primary Children's Hospital recognizes this. In a groundbreaking move, they’ve launched an initiative to expand mental health services specifically for children and teens. On this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos chats with CEO Katy Welkie and Doterra Founders Julie and Greg Cook about their incredible ten-million dollar donation that’s making this expansion possible.
The mental health crisis among young people is escalating, with suicide now the leading cause of death for kids aged 10 to 17 in Utah. This episode dives deep into how the hospital is stepping up to provide timely and appropriate care for kids in need. Julie and Greg Cook share their personal stories of how mental health issues have touched their lives, fueling their desire to make a real difference.
Their hope is to not only provide more resources but also to destigmatize mental health issues, making it easier for families to seek help. The episode sheds light on the significant impact of Covid-19 on children's mental health. Increased stress, anxiety, and depression are just some of the challenges kids face today. The hospital's new initiative aims to build resilience in young people, helping them navigate these unprecedented times.
With a focus on early intervention, the program seeks to make the biggest impact during critical developmental stages. This isn’t just about expanding services; it’s about creating a supportive community where mental health issues are understood and addressed openly. Primary Children's Hospital is passionate about this mission, and they’re inviting everyone to join them in making a difference. Tune in to hear more about this inspiring initiative and how you can be part of the change.
