Today we learned how to "Eat Bitter" as in the Chinese proverb chīkǔ, to endure for the later sweet, with Dr Han Liang. Child psychiatry is near and dear to my heart as a family physician who cares for many struggling youngsters. Thankfully we have Wonderful and caring providers like Han who offer compassionate catch phrases, such as "skills before pillsH and "eat bitter." We learned about the importance of peer and family supports, and how we might expand those programs to fill in gaps where traditional therapy, social work, and clinical medicine are not the right interventions.
