In our first episode, Patricia Costales talks with Guidance Center clinical social worker, Mickey Prince, ACSW, who treats some of our most psychiatrically troubled children. We will hear their reflections on what they see in their clients – the struggles the children already faced and the impact the pandemic is having upon them.
