❤️ October is ADHD Awareness Month! ❤️

ADHD is more than simply being "distracted" or "hyper." It is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, impulse control, activity level, organization, and executive functioning.

Children with ADHD may experience challenges at school, at home, or with friendships, but with the right understanding, support, and treatment, they can thrive!

This month, let's work to replace misconceptions with understanding and remind our kids that their diagnosis does not define their potential.

If you have concerns about your child's attention, behavior, or school performance, talk with their provider. We are here to listen and help connect families with the support they need.

Today is National Depression Screening Day.

Mental health is an important part of every well-child visit and that's why we ask about it.

As part of routine care, we use tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 (surveys) to screen for symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Our biggest tip: Answer honestly.

There are no "right" or "wrong" answers, and you won't get in trouble for what you share. Your answers help your healthcare provider understand how you're really feeling and determine whether additional support may be helpful.

Sometimes it can be difficult to say, "I'm not okay." A screening questionnaire can provide you a starting point for that conversation.

Your mental health matters. Your answers matter. Your well-being matters.

💙 Mental Health Awareness Week 💙

Mental health is just as important as physical health, for children AND parents.

Kids can experience stress, anxiety, sadness, and other emotional challenges just like adults. Supporting their mental health helps them learn, grow, build healthy relationships, and thrive. Additionally when parents take care of their own mental health, they are better equipped to support their children. 🫶

Remember: You do not have to wait for a crisis to ask for help. Starting a conversation, listening without judgement, and reaching out to your child's healthcare provider can be an important first step.

⭐ Resources for families:
- 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 for free, confidential, 24/7 support
- SAMHSA National Helpline:1-800-662-HELP (4357) for mental health and substance use resources
- CDC Children's Mental Health: Information for parents on children's mental health, warning signs, and treatment

Teen va**ng and e-cigarettes use has truly become an epidemic.

Research is still being done on long-term consequences of va**ng and e-cigarette use, but it is already known that ni****ne significantly affects many organs in your body. Ni****ne can have many negative affects on the brain such as causing issues with attention, mood regulation, impulse control, and more. Va**ng can also cause many issues with your lungs such as asthma and recurrent bronchitis.

Encourage your teen not to v**e by educating them and having regular conversations about risky behaviors. It is also very important to set an example by not va**ng yourself. For more information visit tobaccofreekids.org
