The series features Henick as he talks with a range of innovative and creative guests, all at the forefront of the mental health revolution.
“Are the kids alright? Teen mental health,” examines the mental health of teenagers which is in serious decline according to recent surveys by the Centers for Disease Control. Yet in the face of this, 80% of children and youth who need treatment have no access to a specialized mental health provider.
Mark Henick is joined by New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Daniel Siegel and Dr. Lisa Damour to discuss the state of teen mental health. Then, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) stops by to talk about what can be done. The talk concludes with a conversation about services provided by HHC with Mara De Maio, PhD, Director, Child and Adolescent Services at The Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital.
