"Dr. Lamis navigated our youth and parish through a very difficult time as we mourned the loss of one of our youth.

We are very grateful to him for his compassionate and loving approach."

“During the COVID-19 crisis, focusing on mental health has never been more important and we must continue to make it a priority. Having a family of my own, I know how important it is for them to focus on their mental and emotional health and well-being. I want to provide practical tools, which are rooted in research, to help both children and adults build a foundation of strength and resilience to address mental health needs, live more meaningful lives, and manage the long-term consequences of the pandemic.”
