Dr. Suzan Song's Bio:
Suzan J. Song, MD, MPH, PhD is a double-board certified child/adolescent & adult psychiatrist. She is currently Director of Global Child and Family Mental Health at Harvard’s Boston Children’s Hospital, as well as Professor of Psychiatry at George Washington University. Driven by her dedication to helping those suffering in silence, Dr. Song’s work has been defined by a balance of clinical care, teaching, policy and research on behalf of children and adults who have experienced torture, human trafficking, forced displacement, hostage and sexual violence.
Inspired by her patients and their families, Dr. Song has focused on a humanistic, social approach to understanding suffering. As a natural extension of her commitment to compassionate care at the individual, public health, and academic levels, she has served as adviser to various humanitarian agencies such as UNICEF, UN Refugee Agency and others, working mostly across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, as well as consultant to the U.S. State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons and the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement.
She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, medical degree from the University of Chicago and masters degree in public health policy from Harvard. After completing her residency at Harvard and pediatric psychiatry fellowship at Stanford, Dr. Song completed a PhD from the University of Amsterdam on intergenerational stress between former child soldiers and their children in Burundi. Her book, Child, Adolescent & Family Refugee Mental Health: A Global Perspective, was co-edited with the senior mental health adviser to the UN Refugee Agency and she has a forthcoming memoir with Penguin Random House publishers.
