With daylight savings right around the corner and the winter months to follow shortly after, many are gearing up to take on the “Winter Blues.” And though many adults are equipped with the knowledge and experience to accommodate for the shorter and darker days that lie ahead, most children and teens are unprepared for the psychological changes that can take place during the colder months. Thankfully, Dr. Greg Hammer has made it his mission to educate and prepare parents, guardians, and educators with resources and strategies to best support the mental health of the younger generation especially through the winter time. He is a recently retired professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, and wellness lecturer.
