Listen, Mental Health Matters: Drs. Katy Hopkins and Chris Peters, Norton Children’s

In the 14th episode of the “Listen, Mental Health Matters” podcast series, Brian Giebink, behavioral and mental health practice director, travels to Louisville, Kentucky, to talk with Katy Hopkins, Ph.D., medical director of Norton Children’s Behavioral Health, and Dr. Chris Peters, child and adolescent psychiatrist and sports psychiatrist at Norton Children’s, about building a more connected continuum of behavioral healthcare for children and families. Hopkins and Peters share how their careers led them to pediatric behavioral health and a common purpose: removing barriers to care. Together, they explore how integrating behavioral health into primary care, strengthening partnerships across the community and using data to identify gaps can expand access in a region where demand continues to outpace available services.
