Priyanka Kawali, MD, is a pediatrician in Federal Way, WA, where most patients are immigrants or from other underserved populations. Coming from an immigrant background herself, and being proficient in three languages, she works hard to create a safe space for patients and their families where they can open up about topics like mental health and gender identity. REACH training will enable her to even better serve her patients and increase awareness about children’s mental health through community outreach.
"The solution seems obvious: Treating mental-health disorders must fall to pediatricians, who already have regular contact with their patients and are trusted providers. Itβs such an intuitive idea that parents have already started demanding it." Thankβ¦
