The System Failed Him as a Child. Now He's Breaking It. | Dr. Matthew Rosario | The Raz Patel Show | S1 EP7
from The Raz Patel Show · host Raz Patel
At 7 years old the system decided his future. He had other plans. Dr. Matthew Rosario survived foster care, served in the U.S. Navy, worked at the Pentagon and secured over $1.7 million in mental health grants to build ClearHorizon Forensic and Counseling Group — an organization dedicated to saving the youth every other system has given up on. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to reveal the question that unlocks every troubled teen nobody else can reach, what the justice system gets catastrophically wrong about youth mental health — and what he would tell his 7-year-old self in foster care. The system wrote him off at 7. He spent the rest of his life proving it wrong. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.
