This episode is unique in that both our Host Dr. Benjamin Chan and guest, Dr. Dustin Blodget are child and adult psychiatrists and educators. They begin their conversation by exploring Dr. Blodget’s background and journey to becoming a physician and a psychiatrist. They also discuss strategies for providers and parents to monitor and support good mental health for children. 

We are experiencing a mental health crisis across the nation, and it is impacting children and teens at a staggering rate. Our physicians discuss the Safe UT app that providers can recommend to patients and parents to support mental health. Another tool not discussed is the Call-up Psychiatry Consult Service. CALL-UP is a new legislative-funded program designed to address the limited number of psychiatric specialists in Utah and improve access to them through primary care providers who work in rural or underserved areas. This program is supported by U of U Health and Huntsman Mental Health Institute and will help serve patients at no cost to providers or patients in the state of Utah.
