To this date, Dr. Fernandez is the one person that gets me!
He is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and he gets it!
He talks about the COVID-19 and how he, his practice and his patients and their parents.
His voice, his demeanor, and his message as a psychiatric hospitalist truly resonate with me and the work that I do with at-risk youth.
I love the originality and authenticity of this interview.
He shares about life as a crisis doctor dealing with the most at-risk youth of them all...those who have attempted suicide.
He has noticed that the COVID-19 has resulted in increased severity of attempts.
He also talks about how they work with these teens to help refocus them and reground them after a suicide attempt.
Quotables:
"Suicide does not discriminate"
"Get help"
He can be reached at benigno.fernandez@uhsinc.com
Remember, if you or anyone you know is struggling with suicidal ideation, please call me @802-768-1180 or 1800SUICIDE
