We really want to make sure that there is increased access for families so that it doesn't have to get to that crisis point that you can call early, get help early? And you're right, people didn't know where to turn, and I mean the stories I heard from family members. It was, I mean, in almost every encounter of going from- I mean literally on the phone for hours, calling person after person after person, trying to get help and not being able to get the help that they needed for their child, and I think, ultimately just going to the emergency department, which is not the right place for a child who is in crisis.
Imagine being a parent, desperately seeking mental health support for your child, only to hit roadblock after roadblock. This episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters' offers a glimmer of hope. Host Maria Shilaos sits down with Katy Welkie, CEO of Primary Children's Hospital, and Julie and Greg Cook, the founders of Doterra Essential Oils, to discuss an ambitious new initiative aimed at expanding mental health services for children and teens.
The Cooks have generously contributed ten million dollars to make this vision a reality. The episode dives into the hospital's innovative virtual assessment, referral, and consultation service designed to provide crisis stabilization and ensure kids get the appropriate care they need. Early intervention is a focal point, as is making these vital services more accessible to families. Telehealth emerges as a key player in this transformation, offering a lifeline for behavioral health support right from the comfort of home.
Maria and her guests also explore the often-overlooked challenges parents face when navigating the mental health system for their children. The conversation highlights the importance of having a centralized point of contact, making it easier for families to find the help they need without unnecessary stress. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or simply someone interested in mental health advancements, this episode provides valuable insights into how Primary Children's Hospital is stepping up to address a critical community issue.
Tune in to hear how this bold initiative is set to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and teens struggling with mental health challenges.
