Dr Michelle Williams on understanding the health challenges facing adolescents, and tips for communicating with the troubled teen in the healthcare setting.
Speaker biography:
Michelle is a Staff Specialist Paediatrician at the Royal Hobart Hospital, and seems to have been around a long time. Like most regional paediatricians she does a bit of everything. She started the Paediatric and Adolescent Eating Disorder Service and sees a lot of adolescents. That has led to a lot of adolescent health and mental health joint clinics with the CAMHS teams. They have taught her lots... including some things that she wishes she could unlearn.
