From pediatricians I’ve met as president, I know the toll the pandemic has taken on mental health. You've worked tirelessly for your patients and even faced harassment simply for doing your jobs. On Physician Suicide Awareness Day, know that AAP and I are here for you. #NPSAday

Remember to take the time you need to support your mental health and reach out and support your colleagues. If you or anyone you know is struggling, call or text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline for support at 988 or 988lifeline.org. #NPSADay

I’m honored to be at the #WHConfHungerHealth today in DC. Pediatricians play a vital role in identifying nutrition insecurity in their patients, and this important work will help ensure that families in need can be connected to resources that support strong nutrition.

We cannot stand by as threats of violence against our members and their patients proliferate with little consequence. We call on @thejusticedept to investigate these attacks and social media platforms to reduce the spread of the misinformation enabling them.

As pediatricians, we recognize that the current crisis makes promoting mental health a necessity for all kids and teens. By declaring the mental health crisis a national emergency, our federal government can help mobilize resources and activities to address children's needs.

Pediatricians have witnessed first-hand the tragic consequences caused by ingestions of high-powered magnets. The new safety standard will go a long way toward ensuring these dangerous products do not find their way into kid’s hands, preventing serious injuries and saving lives.

Congress must ensure the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program is included in comprehensive year-end legislation. It’s time all eligible families can receive the many benefits that home visiting can offer. More in my The Hill op-ed: ow.ly/NhqJ50LYyiw

As my tenure comes to a close, I'm filled with deep gratitude. Witnessing the incredible work of my fellow members this year has been humbling and made me so proud to be a pediatrician. I'm grateful for every one of you as we stand together on behalf of children and families.
