Erin Harlow-Parker, APRN, PMHCNS-BC

Erin is an advanced practice registered nurse and has worked in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry for more than 30 years. In addition to supporting the emotional wellness initiative for Strong4Life, Erin serves as a member of the Children’s psychiatry consult team. Beyond her direct patient-care responsibilities, Erin is actively involved in many state behavioral health initiatives and was awarded the Institute for Healthcare Improvement/National Patient Safety Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses in 2018.

Erin earned her Bachelor of Science in nursing from Rhode Island College and went on to earn her Master of Science in child and adolescent psychiatric nursing from Northeastern University.

Erin says her biggest challenge as a parent is seeing how fast time flies. Her daughters are now young adults, and while Erin is so proud of the women they have become, letting go is very hard.

Erin loves to travel, decorate, shop and cook. When she’s not working, you can find her spending time with her daughters and dog.
