I have over 10 years of experience in managing psychiatric units, with a focus on child and adolescent care. I have successfully led teams in developing treatment plans, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and improving patient outcomes. My background includes implementing evidence-based practices and fostering a collaborative environment among staff and families.

I approach challenging behaviors with a combination of empathy and structured interventions. By understanding the underlying causes, I work with the treatment team to develop tailored strategies, such as de-escalation techniques, behavioral therapy, and family involvement. I also ensure staff are trained in crisis management to maintain a safe environment.

I prioritize open communication, clear roles, and professional development. I encourage regular team meetings to address concerns and celebrate successes. By fostering a culture of support and collaboration, I ensure that staff feel valued and motivated, which directly impacts patient care.

I stay updated on regulatory changes and ensure staff are trained accordingly. I conduct regular audits and implement corrective actions as needed. By maintaining strong relationships with regulatory bodies, I ensure our unit operates within the highest standards of care.

I practice self-care by setting boundaries, seeking support from colleagues, and engaging in stress-reducing activities. I also encourage a culture of wellness among staff, promoting resilience and mental health awareness to ensure we can provide the best care to our patients.
