My guest on the podcast this week is Dr. Michael A. Lindsey. Dr. Lindsey is a noted scholar in the fields of child and adolescent mental health, as well as a leader in the search for knowledge and solutions to generational poverty and inequality. He is the Dean and Paulette Goddard Professor of Social Work at NYU Silver School of Social Work, and an Aspen Health Innovators Fellow.
In our wide ranging conversation, Dr. Lindsey and I chat about his call to serve the world in the field of social work, being raised by a single Black Mom, and the mental health crisis facing Black young people today.
Dr. Lindsey provides insights, tools and more to help those who are trying to navigate these difficult times. He speaks to parents about how to observe our children and make sure to truly check in with them and ask how they are doing and what's on their minds. Most importantly, Dr. Lindsey provides hope and access to resources that can help in an emergency and access to treatment and intervention when necessary. This is a conversation with a brilliant Black man committed to the well being of our young people and communities and to ending generational poverty and inequality.
