The Just A Mom Podcast

Dr. Shayla Sullivant shares valuable information as a psychiatrist for parents and caregivers who have children struggling and to those who want to be prepared for issues teens may face.

Show Notes

I first encountered Dr. Shayla Sullivant, child and adolescent psychiatrist, four years ago. My husband and I attended a mental health event in our area, and Dr. Sullivant was there presenting her research on safe storage as well as the prepped and ready program. And then COVID happened. But like it was for some things, COVID was a blessing in disguise for Prepped and Ready. Dr. Sullivant took this opportunity to tap into many experts to create an amazing video series for parents. You can find them here (https://www.childrensmercy.org/departments-and-clinics/developmental-and-behavioral-health/learning-opportunities/prepped-and-ready/).

Dr. Sullivant shares her insights and expertise with parents who have a child struggling.  She also helps parents know what to do if they ever face issues, even if they aren’t presently.
