| Often, busy primary care
practitioners do not have the time to answer all questions from
patients and families
on mental health concerns. It is also quite common for patients and
families to be overwhelmed with details and have trouble remembering
everything they want to ask their practitioner or what they have
may heard in their practitioner’s office.
Families and communities represent a significant source of information
and support. Technology has enabled access to a wide variety of
information resources from our homes, and is often a place to start
when we are seeking elusive answers to questions. Sometimes, all
that it is needed is a suggestion or clue where to start looking
for reliable and accurate information.
Our hope is that primary care practitioners
will feel comfortable referring their patients and families to
this site for accurate
information on various health concerns.
Please check out our new website for more information on resources for families.
