Dr Bill Garvey

He is one of Australia’s leading developmental paediatricians, with more than two decades of experience helping children and families navigate the complexities of growth, learning and mental health. Yet Dr Bill Garvey’s story stretches far beyond medicine.

In this compassionate and eye-opening conversation, Bill joins Sarah Grynberg to share the truths he has learnt from decades of working with families, from the realities of the growing mental health crisis facing children, to the everyday struggles of anxiety, behavioural challenges and neurodiversity. With warmth, wisdom and deep humanity, he reveals why compassion, patience and curiosity are often the most powerful tools we have in raising children.

You’ll learn:

*Why mental health challenges among children are rising, and what we can do to respond.

*How parents and educators can better support children through anxiety, behaviour and difference.

*Why empathy and understanding are as vital to growth as science and treatment.

This episode is a powerful reminder that every child deserves to feel seen, heard and supported, and that the way we show up as adults can shape the course of their future.
