Breaking Down Mental Health is a podcast for health care providers that bridges the gap between medicine and psychiatry. It focuses on equipping medical professionals with clinical guidance about various mental health topics from the very basic to the more complex, to better prepare all providers to answer the call to action during this mental health crisis within our pediatric population.
This podcast is hosted by a dynamic triad representing three groups of providers that support mental health consultations at Michigan Medicine's C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor Michigan.
- Syma Khan, MSW
- Christina Cwynar, DNP, CPNP-PC, PMHNP-BC
- Heidi Burns, MD, Clinical and Adolescent Psychiatry
Join us as we break down different aspects of mental health into manageable pieces and work to eliminate stigma.
