April 05, 2023
The third episode of “Modern Minds,” the new Hartford HealthCare Institute of Living 10-part video/podcast series with nationally known mental health advocate, author and podcaster Mark Henick is now posted!
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.
Modern Minds is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple and Google Podcasts, Amazon, iHeartRadio, the HHC Institute of Living 200th Anniversary webpage, as well as @markhenick on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
“This is not just your ordinary podcast,” says Javeed Sukhera, MD, chair of psychiatry at the IOL and chief of psychiatry at Hartford Hospital. “It’s an honest, hopefully hard-hitting look at many of the issues we face in the behavioral health space today. It’s also a great way to commemorate the IOL’s 200th anniversary — our teams have always been thought leaders. We are proud to showcase them through a new platform.”
