New Pediatric Psychiatrist in Loveland
Family Care Centers announces the addition of Dr. Dawnelle Schatte as a Psychiatrist in their Loveland office. She has integrative experience with child, adolescent, and adult Psychiatry.
Colorado House Bill 21-1258 established this temporary behavioral health services program to provide access to mental health and substance use disorder services for youth, including addressing needs that may have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is open to youth 18 years of age or younger or 21 years of age or younger if receiving special education services.
The program, called I Matter, is funded by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health. The program provides up to 3 free behavioral health sessions for youth in Colorado and reimburses participating providers, which are licensed clinicians from agencies and independent contractors.
The I Matter program also has a statewide public awareness and outreach campaign that includes digital ads on platforms such as TikTok and Snapchat, and on-the-ground outreach to schools and youth organizations. Both the awareness campaign and the IMatterColorado.org website were informed by youth feedback.
Identify a circle of support - utilize relationships near and far
Remember to take deep breaths regularly! Everyone can do this together - make it a habit
Set small, daily goals to help you stay focused on the positive and what you can control
Find the fun! Shift from worry and designate time for fun - a board game, read a book, sit in the sun
Let the worries go - give yourself 3 minutes to be worried, then when the timer goes off tell the worry to leave your brain because it's time is up!
