AI therapy for children with anxiety, mental health training for staff at nonprofits that work with young people, and an "art pharmacy" that prescribes free museum tickets to kids — these are just some of the things Dr. Kevin Simon and his team are doing to help meet the mental health care needs of Boston's children.
Simon, the city's first chief behavioral health officer, talks to host Dr. Joel Bervell on the new episode of The Dose, which centers on America's youth mental health crisis and the innovative things states and cities are doing for struggling children.
