One of the things parents check off the To Do list heading into the new school year is a well check or sports physical for their child. Dr. William Gerard explains why discussing mental health during these visits is crucial.
Parents and their children continue to adapt to the fluidity of the COVID-19 environment—work schedules, cancelled summer camps, delayed sports seasons, and now the looming of a different kind of school year.
Summertime—a season when families typically slow down and focus on making memories together. But this is not a typical summer. Due to the pandemic, families are spending more time sharing the same space than ever before. And with all that togetherness, it can be common for parents to see increased signs of sibling rivalry.

Talking about the uncertainties of COVID-19 and adapting to a new schedule can be hard for any child, but when you have a child struggling with a mental health disorder like OCD, anxiety, or depression, and the child is on the autism spectrum, it’s even harder.
Even as school-age children are learning at home while their working parents try to balance their jobs and keep their children on task, Dr. Amanda Heins says it’s important to maintain as much normalcy as possible during these uncertain times.
As the coronavirus continues to spread, each day brings unsettling news and changes to our lives. People of all ages are trying to come to terms with the new normal—especially young children who may not fully understand these trying times.
Dr. Stephanie Eken, Rogers’ regional medical director, helps us understand the short and long-term effects of bullying.
Each day of our residential care for those struggling with eating disorders is structured in a way to assist patients in meeting treatment goals and improving quality of life. The dosage of therapy in residential care is much higher than what you’ll see in traditional outpatient or even Rogers’ more intensive outpatient care. However, breaks and leisure time offer balance and prevent patients from becoming overwhelmed.
As vaping gains more popularity, especially among young people, misconceptions and questions are rampant. Dr. Michelle Maloney answers some of the most common questions surrounding vaping and e-cigarettes.
