For Clinicians
Mind Dive, A Podcast for Mental Health Professionals
Welcome to Mind Dive, Menninger's podcast
for mental health professionals, with Robert Boland, MD, senior vice president and chief of staff, and Kerry Horrell, PhD.
Podcast Focus
Each month, they dive into topics that fascinate them as clinical professionals and hopefully fascinate you, too. They examine dilemmas faced by professionals here at Menninger and colleagues across the nation while working with some of the most challenging cases. They explore the latest research and other trending topics on the minds of psychiatrists, psychologists and others who are interested in the treatment and study of the mind. Drs. Boland and Horrell make it a goal to cover information that gets little attention in formal training programs.

Episode 67: Understanding Racial Stress and Finding Self-Love
What began as an undergraduate term paper on health disparities evolved into Dr. DeLapp's lifelong mission to address the psychological impact of discrimination. Here he shares insights into his groundbreaking approach such as:
• Following character stories to help young people identify patterns of cultural stress in their own lives
• Customizing coping strategies based on individual values, goals, and specific impacts
• Building an "identity filtration system" to maintain self-worth despite encountering bias
• Navigating generational differences in how families approach discrimination
• Balancing validation of parents' lived experiences with their children's current needs
• Incorporating simple screening questions in clinical settings to open conversations about cultural stress
• Preparing clinicians through personal growth and comfortable exploration of these topics
• Moving beyond acknowledging pain to fostering empowerment and self-love

Dr. Boland is an educator at heart with decades of experience teaching and mentoring psychiatry residents. In addition to his roles at Menninger, he is the executive vice chair of the Menninger Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine.
A psychologist on our Compass Program for Young Adults, Dr. Horrell also loves teaching. She completed a predoctoral internship and postgraduate fellowship at Menninger and Baylor College of Medicine.
Both are well read, love canines (and have to resist rescuing too many) and are curious about many subjects.
