On this day, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We reflect on the courage of the first responders, the strength of the survivors, and the resilience of our nation in the face of tragedy.

As a pediatric practice, we are reminded of the importance of teaching our children about unity, kindness, and compassion - values that shined so brightly in the days following 9/11. Today, we stand together in remembrance, gratitude, and hope for a future built on peace and love. 🇺🇸💙

🌍💛 Today we pause for World Su***de Prevention Day, a day to raise awareness, break the stigma, and remind our community that every life matters.

As pediatricians and healthcare providers, we see firsthand how important mental health is at every age. Childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood can be filled with challenges, pressures, and changes that sometimes feel overwhelming. It’s important for families to know that mental health is just as vital as physical health and reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

💬 If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of hopelessness or su***de, please know that you are not alone. Support is out there, and there are people who care deeply about you.

💛 To parents: one of the most powerful things you can do is keep open lines of communication with your children and teens. Let them know it’s okay to talk about feelings, even the hard ones. Listen without judgment, remind them they are loved, and don’t be afraid to ask directly if they’re struggling. Sometimes just knowing that someone is there to listen can make all the difference.

Here are a few important resources:
📞 Call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.
📱 Encourage open conversations with your children, teens, and loved ones—listening can save lives.
💛 Reach out to a trusted family member, friend, teacher, or healthcare provider.

Together, as a community, we can create a safe space filled with compassion, connection, and hope. Let’s check in on each other - not just today, but every day. 💛✨

Take their worries to heart ❤️

Concerns that might feel small to you can feel very big to your child.

Not having classes with friends, running into an old crush, getting lost on the first day, not knowing where to sit at lunch, forgetting their locker combination, worrying they’ll trip getting on the bus, or say the wrong thing in front of classmates - these are all real sources of stress in their world!

Instead of dismissing or minimizing those feelings, lean in with validation and curiosity. Let them know it’s okay to worry, and that you want to understand what’s on their mind. Ask open-ended, non-judgmental questions like, “What part of that feels hardest for you?” or “What are you most nervous about?” This gives them permission to open up and helps them feel supported, not brushed off.

By taking their concerns seriously, we teach kids that their feelings matter and that they don’t have to face their fears alone.

Problem-solve together. If they’re worried about lunch, brainstorm where they could sit. If lockers are stressful, practice together at home.

Share your own stories. Let them know you’ve had worries too, and how you managed them. This helps normalize their feelings.

By showing kids their worries matter, we help them build trust, confidence, and resilience. They learn that even when life feels big and overwhelming, they don’t have to face it alone.
