As a pediatrician, I see myself as a team member working with parents toward the same goal: to help their kids grow up physically and mentally healthy.

I am a lifelong Republican who has supported Kelly Ayotte in the past, but not again!
It’s like someone is benefiting from disenfranchising certain voters including the disability community.
I was laid out on the couch for three or four days, and I’m still reeling from residual symptoms. One of the strangest symptoms, which I hadn’t experienced in the past, was that I lost all olfactory sensation.
Goffstown’s Mike Skinner is a survivor of childhood sex trafficking at the hands of his parents. Two of his siblings took their own lives. He feels that trauma, particularly childhood trauma, lies beneath and is a definitive factor of what is termed “mental illness.” If you get run over by a Mack truck there will be tire tracks.

So what is the solution?
When my younger brother and I were just 2 and 3 years old, we were walking the streets of Manchester’s West Side with our mother. This was not a casual stroll, but because we were homeless. We had lost our subsidized housing.
