The Alpha Omega Clinic’s mission is the integration of sound psychology with the Catholic Faith. Though we are primarily known for our clinical treatment, we also provide talks and presentations and have recorded a variety of radio programs with interviews with prominent experts on mental health topics from an integrative perspective.These interviews were conducted by Art Bennett, (a man with a face made for radio) the Director of the Alpha Omega Clinic on the HEALTHY MINDS/ HEALTHY SOULS program. The shows were recorded from 2002 through 2005 at the studios of WUST in Falls Church, Virginia. (We have permission from WUST New World Radio to place these programs on our site.)
Each program is approximately 24 minutes, divided into three eight minute segments. The theme to all the programs was to pick an expert on a mental health or social issue and discuss it from a Christian, usually Catholic perspective.
