Confidentiality, clinicians, and parents in mental health care now

Abstract

Right after the presidential election last fall, the outgoing pres-ident of the American Academy of Pediatrics listed the many ways in which the organization has protected children over the past year. Keeping health insurance and access to mental health care, promot-ing vaccine confidence, keeping children safe online, challenging bans on gender-affirming care and reproductive health services are just some of the important protections for children.
