I am Dr. Ayotunde Ayobello, a child and adolescent psychiatrist with over a decade of experience in the field of mental health. In the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to diagnose and treat hundreds of children and adolescents with a wide range of psychiatric, emotional, and behavioral issues.
During my training as a child psychiatrist, I stumbled upon a surprising fact; children and adolescents receive very little education on all the factors that play a role in positive mental health and wellness. My young clients and their families often approached me with the belief that I would have the right medication, or the right combination of medications to make their concerns go away. I discovered that even adults struggled to understand all the various facets of wellness apart from medications.
This line of thinking, and my background as a visual artist, spurred me on to create The Wellness Pizza - a testament to my commitment to forging lasting change in child mental health. Conceived and developed in New Haven, Connecticut, a city renowned for delicious pizzas, the wellness pizza dons the playful shape of a pizza, yet its mission is profound. The Wellness Pizza dismantles the passive archetype of mental health, giving rise to a new proactive approach, where every individual—child, adolescent, or family—holds the power to chart their own course toward wellness. The Wellness Pizza signifies a holistic paradigm shift—a slice of empowerment in every sense.
It's not just a tool, it's a revolution.
