Shrinking It Down: Our 1st Episode! (Season 1, Episode 1)

By Sara Rattigan, Communications Director, Steven Schlozman, MD and Gene Beresin, Executive Director

Topics: Child + Adolescent Development, Mental Illness + Psychiatric Disorders

Mental health made simple? Phpht. Who are we kidding? It can be really complicated. Which is why we’re psyched to launch Season 1 of our new video podcast Shrinking It Down: Mental Health Made Simple, to begin to wrapping our brains around it all.

Openly talking about the challenges we face — from mental, to behavioral, to emotional health — is a great place to start in better understanding ourselves and those we care for, so we know what steps to take next.

In our first episode, co-hosts Dr. Gene Beresin and Dr. Steve Schlozman delve into the idea of, and stigma surrounding, mental illness in kids.

Thank you for joining us in this journey and conversation. We look forward to hearing from you!
