Episode Synopsis

Many parents fear getting their children evaluated—and this makes sense. The fear of labels comes up for many. How will a diagnosis affect a child in their school? Amongst their peers? Or generally in their life? In this episode I invite Dr. Sanaa Mrabet, a licensed psychologists that provides evaluations to children as young as 18 months. She helps us better understand when a child may benefit from getting evaluated, how to go about it, and how to confront parental fears that may arise in the process. This is an important topic that is often not talked about enough as mental health diagnoses still carry stigmas, It is important that with information and conversations such as these, we continue on the journey to de-stigmatize mental health.
