The Direction Podcast explores parenting, child psychiatry, resilience, school culture, and the emotional lives of children, adolescents, families, and communities. Hosted by child psychiatrist Duncan Gill, MD, the podcast blends clinical insight with thoughtful conversations about family challenges in modern life.
Originally launched as Is There a Med for That?, the podcast has gradually evolved from conversations focused primarily on behavioral health treatment into broader discussions about parenting, culture, resilience, and the systems surrounding mental health. Warm, reflective, practical, and often funny, The Direction Podcast is for parents, educators, clinicians, and anyone interested in raising resilient kids in a complicated world.
