Ten years in the game, and the disparities in mental health care are still glaring. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I see the impact of these barriers' impact daily. Minority communities face unique challenges when seeking help, from cultural stigma to systemic racism. This anniversary marks a decade of fighting for equitable care grounded in cultural humility. Let's work together to break down these barriers and ensure everyone can access quality mental health services.

Impulsivity in children can be confusing. It's important to differentiate between typical childhood behaviors and signs of ADHD. ADHD impulsivity is persistent and affects how a child functions. At Unique Holistic Care, we believe in thorough assessments. We take the time to truly understand what's going on.

Did You Know? 🧠

Black children are diagnosed with autism an average of 6 months later than white children, often after years of parental concern. This delay can significantly impact their development and access to vital support.

I'm working to change that! 🙌🏾

It's important to understand that non-white children are more likely to be initially misdiagnosed with conditions like ADHD or conduct disorder before receiving an accurate autism diagnosis. This can lead to delays in receiving the appropriate support.

I'm committed to breaking down barriers and filling in gaps. 💪🏾

I'm excited about this training to incorporate the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd Edition) into my practice to help ensure accurate and timely diagnoses for children.

This expansion of services at Unique Holistic Care means:

✅️Comprehensive Autism Assessments: The ADOS-2 is one of many valuable tools within a thorough diagnostic process that includes clinical interviews, observations, and collaboration with families to gain a complete understanding of each child's needs.

✅️Reduced wait times: Families will have quicker access to this crucial diagnostic service.

✅️Culturally sensitive care: I understand the unique cultural nuances that can impact the diagnostic process and will provide a safe and supportive environment for all families.

We are committed to working towards a future where every child receives the support they need. ❤️

As a PMHNP, I witness the strength and resilience of my patients every day. They face unique challenges, yet they strive to overcome. Noah Lyles' story is a powerful reminder that we all have the potential to achieve greatness, no matter what obstacles we face. It's a privilege to be part of their journeys. ❤️

It's important to remember that people's words and actions often reflect more about their own inner world and experiences than about you. Keeping this in mind can be really liberating and helpful for your mental health. It allows you to interact with a bit more ease and less self-judgment.
