tells the stories of our people. Meet Dr. Susan MacKenzie, Medical Director of Child and Youth Psychiatry at Michael Garron Hospital (MGH).

“It’s a challenging time in the field of child and youth mental health: the demand for services is growing, and the system remains fragmented in many ways. Between 2023 and 24 at MGH, we saw a 10% increase in admissions to our inpatient unit and a 35% increase in demand for our outpatient services,” she says.

“Part of the reason is that the COVID-19 pandemic was disruptive to family routines, and especially school. We continue to see the long-term impacts of the pandemic on mental health.”

“The Child and Youth Mental Health Services team at MGH has been responsive to this increase in demand. In recent years, we’ve launched and expanded several programs to meet patient needs.”

“I truly enjoy working with my patients and helping to shift the trajectory of their mental health, even if it’s just a little bit. When I can help improve a patient’s well-being through therapeutic intervention, medication or even offering support during a difficult time, it’s meaningful and gratifying.”
