Meet Your Host
Hi, I am Tanya. I have been working in health care for over 25 years. I have witnessed the increase of medications dispensed to teens for mental health issues and am certain that there is a better way.
After interviewing many suicide survivors over the past 2 years and studying the research data, I have been combatting the spike in teen mental health in two ways: focusing my energy on building teen resilience programming while simultaneously using genetic testing to ensure patients get the correct medicine at the right dose so they can heal.
