By having conversations and telling stories you can be more effective than seeing signs in schools. How can mental health professionals remove the roadblocks such as work/school schedules to reduce no show and readmission rates with using technology such as video conferencing for therapy sessions. David Khan discusses why mental health problems and addiction issues go hand in hand among adolescents and teens.
