Raising Joy Podcast: Stigmas of Mental Health Care in Children with Rachel Talbot, M.D.
Listen to Episode 21 of the Raising Joy podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts. The podcast is part of the JOY Campaign, which launched in April 2021 as a suicide prevention communication initiative, and aims to reach parents through honest conversations about the mental wellbeing of children and teens.
What are some of the most common concerns parents have when a child needs inpatient psychiatric care? Inspired by the Disney movie ‘Inside Out,’ Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Rachel Talbot, M.D., wanted to find out.
On this episode of Raising Joy, Dr. Talbot explains how her research identified nine of the most common stigmas parents have about mental health care, including medication, confidentiality, treatment of the problem and social impacts for the child and family.
Raising Joy is part of Cook Children’s Health Care System’s Joy Campaign, a communications initiative aimed at preventing youth suicides. For more information about the Joy Campaign, visit cookchildrens.org/joy.
