Allison Walsh, founder of She Believed She Could™ Foundation, is a long-time advocate for mental health. She knows that studies show 1 in 4 kids struggle with mental health. She always thought she’d recognize the signs in her own kids, but she didn’t realize how easy they can be to miss. In the winter of 2023, her young daughter Maddie asked for help because her “mental health was decreasing.”
With Allison’s background, she knew how important it was to act swiftly and Dr. Tina Gurnani — a board-certified pediatric psychiatrist with AdventHealth for Children — was one of the first calls she made.
In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, Allison, Maddie and Dr. Gurnani share this inspiring journey about hope, healing and helping others recognize and address mental health issues in children, adolescents and teens.
