Dr. Billy Garvey is a renowned Developmental & Behavioural Paediatrician in one of Australia’s biggest Children’s Hospitals, but he hasn’t always been on the right track. Growing up, Dr. Garvey shares with us his formative years were challenging, and how those challenges have shaped him into an adult that doesn’t believe there are bad kids, just kids in trying circumstances who need the right support.
So we ask Dr Garvey, knowing what he knows now as a paediatrician, how much does our environment and experience as a child, shape us as adults? How much should we consider mental health in young children, as well as teenagers? And how do we catch a kid before they head down the wrong track?
