Did you know that in 2018, only 9.4% of U.S. kids received mental health services? Many families face a maze of obstacles that prevent their children from getting the care they need. We've broken down eight major barriers like affordability, limited insurance coverage, and stigma—with real examples from parents trying to navigate these challenges.

From hidden costs and "mental health deserts" to misinformation and stigma, this episode sheds light on why these gaps persist and offers actionable steps to make a change. We discuss integrating mental health into primary care, normalizing screenings, and creating simple, effective guides for parents and teachers.

Omega Pediatrics, serving the metro Atlanta area, plays a crucial role in highlighting and addressing these issues. Discover how communities can reform access and support cultural change to ensure every child can receive timely, effective mental health care.

Have More Babies ! 🎧 New Podcast: Piercing, Parents, and Pediatric Sense
https://www.buzzsprout.com/2209259/episodes/18014687-piercing-parents-and-pediatric-sense.mp3


When considering infant ear piercing, timing and technique are crucial. Many doctors suggest waiting until around four months and after two tetanus shots, focusing on sterile technique and careful aftercare. It's important to choose a clinical setting or pediatric practice for your child's piercing, and using hypoallergenic metals like surgical steel or pure gold can reduce medical risks.

As caretakers, ensuring strict hygiene for the first six weeks after piercing is essential to avoid complications like redness, swelling, or discharge. Practical tips like feeding the baby before the procedure and using a pacifier right after can help keep your child calm and comfortable. Remember, if you have a family history of keloids, approach piercing with caution.

We aim to provide a balanced view that includes both scientific advice and cultural perspectives so you can make an informed choice for your family. Your child's health and comfort are our top priorities. Share this episode with anyone in your circle considering piercing for their baby, and help spread trusted pediatric care advice.
