I am relieved that I wasn’t the only nurse experiencing these situations this summer, it also makes me extremely sad to know how many children are struggling. After camp ended we had parent feedback on their children “not feeling emotionally supported” and that broke my heart. There was an abundance of behavioral issues, anxiety and self harm. Any advise on knowing what to say to parents who are unaware that their children are doing these things?
I also agree with a lot of you on the fact that parents are NOT disclosing enough on health records and are withholding information on the true mental health of their children. We are hoping to implement virtual visits with psychiatrists this upcoming year and I love the idea of having mental health “check ins” with the nurse.
Thanks for all the feedback.
Thankful New Member!!!
