Under the Sleeve: Find Help for Your Child Who is Cutting

Under the Sleeve provides the help hurting children need and the relief parents desperately need.

Ten years of experience as a successful pediatrician did not equip Dr. Stacey Winters for finding the best help when her daughter began cutting. From that first day, she researched and sought out any available assistance, only to hit roadblock after roadblock. Thirteen years later, Dr. Winters has successfully navigated the difficult path of getting help for her daughter. In Under the Sleeve, Dr. Winters shares what she has learned on her journey as both a mom and pediatrician. Throughout Under the Sleeve, parents are empowered to:

Understand why visits to a primary care provider do not help

Develop insight into the reasons why their child is cutting

Discover the role anxiety and depression can play in cutting and learn methods to help their child cope

Learn why children in pain often can’t talk to their parents

Become familiar with the different treatments and understand why it takes a tribe

Dr. Stacey Winters is a board-certified pediatrician who started her work with children over 20 years ago.

Her desire is to reach as many kids and families as possible to provide direction through education in the hopes to decrease pain and lend a hand for children with any type of mental illness to find success and happiness. Dr. Winters currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
