What Parents Say About Pathformers

When looking for information on children’s mental health, parents can feel frantic and hasty to understand what’s happening with their child. There’s a sense of hopelessness coupled with the worry, “Is my child the only one going through this?” Dr. Maya’s calm and welcoming demeanor provides an unsaid sense of normalcy. It’s as if she’s reassuring us, โ€œHey, I’ve seen this before. We can approach these topics calmly together because I know there is light at the end of the tunnel.โ€ The “Get Started” process is super easy to use too. It feels like you’re building a recipe for the areas where your child needs help. This is the kind of information that someone would expect to have in a therapy session, so you get the experience of therapy without any requirement beyond a monthly commitment of $50. Because of this I think that Pathformers is a solid investment for parents and anyone else looking for information on child psychology.

I had the chance to check out Pathformers on my phone and computer, and let me tell you, the computer version really blew me away. The site’s beautiful aesthetic and diverse family photos and videos really capture the richness of family life. The topics they talk about are super helpful, and navigating the site is a breeze, especially with the filters that stay put until you change them. Dr. Klein explains things in a way that’s easy to get, which I think will hit home for a lot of people, not just parents like us. I’m actually pretty excited to tell my colleagues about it. We’re always looking for meaningful ‘lunch and learns’, and I really think Pathformers could be a big hit with us and others.

I am so appreciative of the Pathformers initiative!! In conversations with friends who have children, we are always questioning whether some behaviors are normal, worrisome, or not. I am struck by how very little information pediatricians give to parents on mental health and what is normal for children to do and when you need to seek help. Pathformers gives us a place to turn to answer those questions. It provides families with research-based and trustworthy information to help with their kidsโ€™ mental health.
