Medical Students Bring Creativity and Connection to Behavioral Health Care

On Challenging Weekends in Psychiatric Units, Student Volunteers Offer Patients Something Just as Vital as Medicine

On weekends, New York Medical College (NYMC) third- and fourth-year medical student-volunteers visit the children and adolescent units at the Westchester Medical Center’s (WMC) Behavioral Health Center (BHC) in a new pilot program. Students organize and lead music, art, writing, mindfulness, yoga, dance, and other educational activities to reinforce coping skills patients need to succeed both during inpatient care and at home.
