Ep. 125: Food Allergy Mentoring Pilot Program at Children's National Hospital

Two leading mental health experts discuss with us a groundbreaking peer-to-peer food allergy mentoring pilot study conducted at Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC. Linda Herbert, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Division of Psychology and Behavioral Health at Children's National Hospital, and Pediatric Psychologist Ashley Ramos, Ph.D., bring us the study from behind the scenes. They explain its impact on families and what may lay ahead for parents and caregivers of patients that are newly diagnosed with food allergies.
