Mindcast: Healthy Mind, Healthy Child. A podcast from the experts at Bradley Hospital, leaders in Mental Healthcare for Children
At Bradley Hospital, our expert clinicians in children’s mental health work with kids and families every day, providing clinical care at the outpatient, partial hospitalization, and even inpatient and residential levels. We also offer both virtual and in-person group therapy. And we are now sharing some of our expertise in our new podcast, Mindcast: Healthy Mind, Healthy Child. On each episode we’ll interview a different Bradley Hospital clinician on topics ranging from teen depression, to processing grief and loss, to anxiety in kids and all things mental health in between.
