Please Don’t Label My Child

by Scott M Shannon, MD.

Dr. Shannon is internationally recognized as a pioneer in integrative children’s mental health and now leads the country's first university based clinic in Integrative Child Psychiatry at the University of Colorado Children’s Hospital in Denver. He challenges many conventional practices and offers a bold, new perspective.

His ecological perspective integrates cutting edge information on nutritional interventions, brain development, family relationships, learning styles, environmental hazards and other key topics. Building on three decades of experience as a child psychiatrist, he provides practical guidance for professionals and parents concerned about the mental health of children.
