Friends and Families of Kartini Clinic

Just a reminder to our families: Kartini Clinic will be CLOSED for Labor Day, Monday September 2nd. Hope everyone has a restful day!

So grateful to get such positive feedback from Dr. Moshtael's presentation to Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel PediNet 2024 Behavioral Health Care for Children with Chronic Illness! An urgent topic and one we're happy to speak to as one of the nation's leading pediatric eating disorder treatment programs. We practice in the knowledge that parents don't cause eating disorders and children don't choose to have them. Thank you!

Dear Kartini Friends and Families - We need your help! We are trying to elicit more Google reviews from our families. https://kartiniclinic.com/google-review/

For those who may not have read it, we do have a policy statement on reviews https://kartiniclinic.com/blog/post/online-reviews/

But the fact remains the only antidote to bad reviews (in our view most are wildly inaccurate and deeply unfair) are good reviews, especially from families who have benefited from Kartini's program.

And even if you'd prefer not to leave a Google review (we get it!), simply engaging with existing reviews that you agree with - for example by "liking" a review - would be enormously helpful. To read and engage with current reviews simply Google Kartini Clinic and follow the links to Reviews.

Thank you!

May is National Mental Health Awareness so please join us and our colleagues at the National Institute of Mental Health in highlighting the need for improved treatment access and better clinical outcomes for mental health (aka brain health). In terms of eating disorders the message is clear: these illnesses are about more than food. Eating disorders are highly heritable (i.e. genetic) illnesses of the brain. Parents don't cause them and children don't choose to have them. Thank you!

🚨 Attention friends and followers! 🚨 As a leading eating disorder clinic, Kartini Clinic understands the importance of recognizing the early signs of anorexia in children. That's why we're proud to share "Spotting the Tiger: Recognizing Early Signs of Anorexia in Children" 🐅, a film narrated by Oscar Award Winner Jamie Lee Curtis.

This eye-opening film features primary care providers, doctors, and therapists who are experts in the field of pediatric eating disorders. They discuss how eating disorders can escape notice, even from vigilant parents and providers, due to the subtle signs often obscured by brain-based illnesses like anorexia.

📽️ Please take a moment to watch this important film and help us spread the word by sharing it with your friends and family 📣. Early recognition is crucial for successful treatment and long-term recovery.

How To Talk To Your Doctor About Eating Disorders https://youtu.be/63cjsp-ejmU

Finding eating disorder treatment for children can be extremely challenging and frustrating, especially eating disorder treatment for boys. In this brief video we demonstrate how parents (regardless of their child's gender identification) can talk with their pediatrician to ensure prompt evaluation by compassionate and medically trained eating disorder specialists. National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) F.E.A.S.T.

Grateful for the opportunity to speak to our colleagues at Catholic Community Services Oregon - CCS about pediatric and the need for prompt recognition, referral and effective treatment. Special thanks to our presenter Naghmeh Moshtael MD, medical director, Kartini Clinic as well as Nikhil Rao MD, consulting psychiatrist, for facilitating this presentation.

We join our colleagues at Academy for Eating Disorders in voicing our concerns over the recent American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for treatment of high body weight in children. Treating unwanted weight gain as a disease rather than a symptom of underlying metabolic disorder(s) strikes us as the wrong way to look at these complex issues. We are also concerned that the proposed treatment interventions, including bariatric surgery on children as young as 13, is not adequately supported by clinical evidence at this time. More needs to be done to ensure that as clinicians we abide by the Hippocratic oath: first, do no harm. Abby Sarrett-Cooper F.E.A.S.T.

Thank you to all the fantastic providers at Vancouver Clinic and Vancouver Clinic Pediatrics who attended this morning's presentation by our medical director, Naghmeh Moshtael MD! The topic was the latest in pediatric eating disorder treatment. Attendance was excellent! We always appreciate and relish an opportunity to speak directly to primary care providers and pediatric subspecialists about the world class evidence-based, family centered eating disorder treatment available right here in Portland.

Dear Friends and Families - Eating disorder treatment is difficult. And while we work tirelessly on behalf of the children we treat, we realize that parents and patients have by far the hardest job. The road to recovery can be bumpy and we certainly are the first to acknowledge that no eating disorder program is a perfect fit for every family. This is why we welcome all feedback and reviews, and take the time to answer each one. So if you haven't already I want to encourage each of you please to provide feedback to our team, even if that's as simple as giving a 'thumbs up' to reviews you agree with. Thank you! - Morgan O'Toole, CEO, Kartini Clinic
