Dr. Cheryl Al-Mateen is Medical Director of the Virginia Treatment Center for Children, and Professor of Psychiatry at Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Psychiatry. She is passionate about helping kids and youth because it's known that half of mental illnesses start before age 14. This being the case...we need to get a better understanding and be proactive on behalf of these kids, their families, and ultimately the future and our communities. www.aacap.org , www.bpkids.org , www.nami.org
