In this episode of "Embark Sessions," Rob discusses social support and its impact on mental health with Hansa Bhargava, mom, pediatrician, and Chief Clinical Officer of Medscape. Hansa and Rob discuss the importance of finding mentors early in life, and how community is essential for maintaining a healthy balance. Hansa explains how her “C’s” (compassion, connection, communication, and calm) help her manage the stresses of day-to-day life as a parent and pediatrician.
