On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM, Clapp Memorial Library will host a talk by Belchertown resident and pediatrician David Gottesgen, M.D., author of Mending the Body with the Mind: Harnessing Kids’ Superpowers to Heal and Stay Healthy. Dr. Gottesgen will discuss integrative medicine and how he used mind-body-spirit approaches in his pediatric practice, including ways children and teens can apply these tools for a range of common concerns such as chronic pain (including headaches and stomachaches), asthma and other respiratory issues, habit disorders (including tics and bedwetting), sleep issues, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, phobias, and anxiety in sports. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
