At my core, I am a therapist, and my heart is with the children, families, and professionals walking through life\u2019s hardest moments. I wonder how families experience our care, whether they feel seen, supported, and safe, and whether our staff feel valued while doing such important work. Leadership has taught me that behind every policy, staffing decision, spreadsheet, or compliance requirement is a real person. I am motivated to create spaces where both families and clinicians can heal, grow, and thrive together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senior Vice President of Behavioral Health and Community ServicesChildren\u2019s Institute Dr. Diane Elias has single-handedly reshaped the clinical&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[167027,167028,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-417613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-childrens-institute","tag-diane-elias","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
