Internal Chatter - Children's Mental Health in the Pediatric Office with Jackie Baker, DNP

We’re big fans of saying mental health is health, and Jackie Baker, DNP stopped by the chat to give Melissa and Staci a primer in what that looks like in the pediatric office. We talk about fentanyl and narcan training, rapid onset gender dysphoria, pronoun use, sports physicals vs. well checks, what to expect at what ages in the pediatric visit, pediatric mental health screening tools, correlation of screen use and increased isolation and depression in children as well as what she would use a magic wand to fix. We also get into how she cares for herself so she can show up for her patients in her Vancouver, WA office. Welcome Jackie!  Let’s chat!
