ationally ranked psychiatric hospital The Menninger Clinic announces the release of a new mental health podcast, Mind Dive, co-hosted by psychiatrist Robert Boland, MD, senior vice president and chief of staff at Menninger, and Kerry Horrell, PhD, staff psychologist. Through Mind Dive, the hosts will explore mental health topics that intrigue them as professionals as well as others interested in the mental health field, including the various dilemmas clinicians face in their practice. Ground-breaking mental health research and the newest treatment techniques round out the areas the podcast will cover. During a lively discourse twice a month, Drs. Boland and Horrell will discuss the complexities of mental health care with a distinguished colleague from the field. The hosts also plan to solicit topic ideas from listeners through the podcast email, podcast@ menningerclinic.edu. “Mind Dive was born from the idea that, in these times, the mental health field has never been more dynamic or demanding,” said Dr. Boland. “I have long been involved in the education of clinicians and I hope this podcast is an extension of that work. Our goal is for it to be enjoyable and insightful for professionals at all stages of their careers, especially those in the early years.” Dr. Boland also currently
serves as executive vice chair of the Menninger Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and the Brown Foundation Endowed Chair in

Co-host Dr. Kerry Horrell, who describes herself as “insatiably curious” says that mental health research and new treatment approaches are topics the podcast will cover. “I am endlessly fascinated by our profession and the experts who are shaping it,” she says. “We are so grateful for the great minds that have already agreed to share their expertise on this podcast. Our goal is for Mind Dive to be enjoyable, thought-provoking and informative for our listeners.” An assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Horrell adds that learning about emerging technologies is important for professionals. She notes that Menninger’s Michelle Patriquin, PhD, ABPP, director of research and senior psychologist, will discuss wearable technology and its implications for psychiatric care on an upcoming episode. “A key part of Menninger’s mission is mental health education,”
