Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

We are in the midst of a pediatric mental health crisis — and parents need to take action.

Over the past couple of years, the pandemic has not only killed hundreds of thousands; it has also shut us inside, cut off social contacts, taken parents out of work and children out of school. The consequences have been tremendous. And one of those consequences is that we are seeing alarming amounts of anxiety and depression in our children and teens.

Parents, here are tips to save your teens from fentanyl

Parents, here are tips to save your teens from fentanyl | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
So, what can parents do?

First, talk to your teen about fentanyl. Have an open dialogue, asking questions about whether they’ve heard about fentanyl and are aware of fake pills. Know that many drug sales happen through social media, and ask whether your teen has been approached on TikTok, Snapchat, or other platforms. Spend more time listening than lecturing. Counsel them about the risks of fentanyl but avoid fear-mongering. Teens benefit most when we empower them to make safe decisions, and commonly tune us out if we use scare tactics.
