There is no doubt that we need a workforce to address mental health needs in jails, prisons and the courts.
We are lucky to have Dr Kimberly Clawson as our program director!

There is something soothing about an old recipe that you know in your bones.
After a long week, cooking can be a mindful activity that grounds you in the moment.
From choosing your produce to tasting at the end, focus on the sights, sounds and aromas of the kitchen 🌱

Always eye opening to gather @unmcpsychiatry.bsky.social leaders for alignment of our mission and culture!
From ensuring better clinical flow to laying the groundwork for international research, it’s important for every leader to understand the “why” behind all of the hard work 🍁

Attending the #AAMC25 is an opportunity to reflect.
Reconnecting with trusted mentors, colleagues and friends is always worthwhile.
And gazing into the future of healthcare is both challenging and exciting.
Never worry alone & make time for people who inspire you 🌱

If you spend time in Chicago, everyone is gazing upward at the skyline.
Intriguing to learn that the Tribune Tower has 150 fragments of other buildings embedded in its facade from around the world.
A reminder that when we grow, we carry our mentors with us.

Love seeing friends from every career stage at #AACAP25!
From fellowship classmates to mentors, global health visionaries to leaders in education, the value of AACAP is learning from peers who inspire you.
In every community, we must invest in child mental health!

When I travel, I love to visit the market.
It’s always inspiring to meet the local farmers, bakers and other artisans to get a taste of a city.
No matter how busy life is, food anchors us.
Savor the small things - fresh produce, a new flavor, & the joy of discovery 🌱

I don’t feel settled after a trip until I’m back in the kitchen 🌱
Taking time to be mindful in daily routines can help us relieve stress.
That means awakening our senses and allowing our curiosity to lead us.
I tried making Szechuan boiled fish (Shui Zhu Yu) at home for the first time 🌶️

As I reflect upon a meaningful time in Prague, I was struck by the beauty of small things.
Old doors lovingly restored.
Cobblestones which beckon one to stroll.
Mindfulness & travel go hand in hand 🌱

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, each of us has a voice to celebrate mental health.
And that means investing in workforce and access to care.
It means speaking up to shatter stigma at home, at work and beyond.
And striving for a future where recovery is possible for all 🌱

My youngest has been tending his garden every day after school.
One stormy evening, the cup of cucumber seeds was knocked over by the wind and we thought they were lost.
But instead, they thrived in the rock bed.
A small reminder that resilience matters in gardening & life 🌱

As the weekend arrives, pay attention to nature.
In many places, the leaves are changing and it’s a moment to glimpse the arrival of fall 🍁
No matter what is happening in the world, nature remind us to keep going.
Time outdoors is an investment in resilience!

In times of stress, it can be helpful to lean into our routines.
Take extra care to pay attention to our senses as we go about the day.
Whether it is taking a morning walk or cooking, practice being present in the moment.
Mindfulness is a way to manage our anxiety 🌱

Loved hosting Dr Doug Ziedonis at @unmcpsychiatry.bsky.social to share his wisdom on research, leadership, mentorship and community engagement!
And I was excited to learn that he is a foodie who appreciates Omaha’s Ethiopian and Szechuan cuisine.
Truly a class act in psychiatry!

Whether it’s a special breakfast or after school snack, make time to celebrate and check in.

As a psychiatrist, I have the privilege of bearing witness to good times and bad.
When we are struggling, it can seem like the darkness will never end.
But never forget that recovery is possible.
Ask for help and never worry alone.
Hope is a courageous act 🌱

There is something magical about opening a fresh pomegranate.
Its seeds glisten like jewels and it’s a fun tactile experience to remove them.
The joy of summer is trying out what’s fresh in the produce aisle, farmer’s market or your own garden 🪴
