Monthly Newsletter | March 2021
Springing into March, Daylight Saving Time is just around the corner! We could all use a little extra light right now, but as you spring forward an hour, encourage the young people in your life to practice good sleep hygiene and get the rest they need (tips below).

This month, we’re excited to launch our new series, "Clinical Tip of the Week." Each week, Dr. Gene Beresin or Dr. Khadijah Booth Watkins will share an insight from their clinical practice as child and adolescent psychiatrists that can benefit all parents and caregivers in supporting young people's mental health. Tune in each Wednesday on Instagram and Facebook for more!
