Meeting Kids Where They Are

The Mindful Mic

About

What does the future of youth mental health care look like—and how can we better meet kids where they are?

In this episode of The Mindful Mic, Colbi Twiss and Grace Shimatsu talk with Dr. Eric Arzubi, child and adolescent psychiatrist and co-founder and CEO of Frontier Psychiatry.

Dr. Arzubi shares why early intervention matters, how parents can better support kids who are struggling, and why his advice to “don’t judge, be curious” can help keep important conversations open.

They also explore barriers to mental health care in rural communities, Project YES, a free digital resource offering evidence-based single-session interventions for youth, and how technology and AI may help expand access to care.
