The Hill Times
In my decades as a practising pediatrician, I have seen a heartbreaking and frustrating scenario play out far too often: a frantic parent comes into my office with their child facing a mental health crisis. Perhaps it’s anxiety, or severe depression. The young person may be contemplating suicide.

It is my intention to produce a paper summarizing the discussion and areas where there is agreement on actions to prioritize, and to act on them. I have also given notice that I will use a Senate inquiry to call attention to this issue in the Red Chamber.
