Parents worry about their kids mental health.

The Paid Leave Podcast

The mental health crisis in adolescents is a growing problem. Three years after the COVID pandemic uprooted life as we knew it, kids are still dealing with many issues causing a number of mental health conditions.
Dr. Laine Taylor, Medical Director at The Village for Families and Children in Hartford, joins me to discuss mental health in children in this episode.

Prior to working at The Village for Families and Children, Dr. Taylor was an assistant Professor at the Yale Child Study Center and worked in child psychiatric inpatient service for seven years. Dr. Taylor completed general psychiatry residency at the University of Arizona and completed a Child and Adolescent Fellowship at The Yale Child Study Center in New Haven.
A recent report stated that 40 percent of US parents are “extremely” or “very” worried that their children struggle with anxiety or depression. The Pew Research Center report concluded that mental health is the greatest healthcare concern among parents.

We discussed the health disparity in mental health for Black and Latino children, and the barriers o treatment that exist.
