About this listen

Step into the world of youth mental health with Mind the Kids. In this episode, host Clara Faria welcomes Professor Giovanni Salum, Senior Vice President of Global Programs at the Child Mind Institute and Associate Professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.

Together, they explore the groundbreaking Brazilian High Risk Cohort Study, which has shaped our understanding of child development and mental health in Brazil for over 15 years. Professor Salum shares key findings—like the staggering fact that 80% of children diagnosed with mental health conditions in Brazil do not receive treatment—and discusses how poverty and positive traits shape outcomes for young people. The conversation moves beyond research, delving into Salum’s transition from academia to public health leadership, the challenges of delivering care in a vast country, and the importance of community engagement, capacity building, and global collaboration.

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on bridging the gap between research and real-world impact, and discover why understanding local contexts and investing in strengths are essential for advancing youth mental health—both in Brazil and around the world
