    • Keeping Kids Where Kids Belong
      Feb 4 2026

      In this 6-minute episode, national psychiatric leader Dr Justine Larson with National Children's Hospital in Washington D.C., makes the case for a simple but powerful shift in youth mental health care: bring care to kids, instead of pulling kids out of their lives to get care. From schools and primary care settings to community spaces families already trust, this conversation explores why meeting kids where they are leads to earlier support, better outcomes, and stronger communities—and why our systems must catch up to what kids actually need.

    • Around the Table: Why Talking Openly About Youth Mental Health Matters More Than Ever
      Jan 21 2026

      In this brief but powerful conversation, we sit down with Dr. Martine Lamy from Cincinnati Children's, the nation’s largest hospital based pediatric mental health provider to explore a quiet but profound shift in youth mental health: families are finally talking — openly, honestly, and without shame. From dinner table conversations to everyday check-ins, discussing mental health with young people is becoming more normalized, and that change is saving lives.

      Dr. Lamy explains why these moments of openness matter so deeply, how they help youth name their struggles earlier, and why family dialogue is one of the strongest protective factors we have. This episode highlights how cultural change — not just clinical care — is reshaping the youth mental health landscape and why creating space for these conversations at home is just as critical as any treatment plan.
