Listen "Making Mental Health Care Accessible: Evening Hours, Telehealth, and Family-Centered Support with Dr. Assumpta Ekeh"
Episode Synopsis
On Inner Peace, Better Health, we get practical about mental health accessibility—what actually helps families get care. Dr. Assumpta Ekeh, Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Family Behavioral Health Services, explains why evening and weekend appointments, telehealth, and family-centered care remove real-world barriers for children, adolescents, and adults. We cover tailored, evidence-based approaches for ADHD, anxiety, and autism; reducing stigma with community education; and how listeners can advocate locally using online resources.
About the guest:
Dr. Assumpta Ekeh is a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and certified School Nurse. As founder of Family Behavioral Health Services, she delivers accessible care with evening, weekend, and telehealth options, focusing on children, adolescents, and adults through individualized, evidence-based treatment.
Key takeaways :
Access matters: Extending evening and weekend hours plus telehealth lets working parents and students get timely care without missing work or school.
Family-centered model: Involving families in assessment, planning, and follow-through improves adherence and outcomes for youth and young adults.
Thorough assessment first: Comprehensive, age-appropriate evaluations guide diagnosis and tailored treatment—what works for one child may not work for another.
Condition-specific care: Plans for ADHD, anxiety, and autism differ and should match the individual’s needs, context, and supports (home, school, peers).
Evidence-based, personalized: Combine therapies and, when appropriate, medications with measurable goals and regular review.
Reduce stigma: Education and culturally aware communication help families seek help earlier and stick with care.
Start local, use tech: Search local directories, state mental-health divisions, and vetted online resources to find low-cost or free options.
Action step for listeners: Advocate for extended hours in local clinics/schools, share resource lists, and champion privacy-respecting telehealth access.
