On the one-year anniversary of One South: Portrait of a Psych Unit, we're reposting this episode of 20-Minute Health Talk: Host Sandra Lindsay, RN, sits down with the filmmakers of HBO's groundbreaking documentary series One South: Portrait of a Psych Unit.  Also joining them is one of the clinicians featured in the doc, Laura Braider, PhD. Together, they explore the origins of this powerful two-part series, the challenges of working in an in-patient psychiatric unit, and the vital role of Northwell's unique Behavioral Health College Partnership at Zucker Hillside Hospital. You'll hear what it's really like for patients, healthcare providers — and filmmakers — inside this psych unit, and how the documentary is shedding light on mental health care like never before.
