   Garland S. Alcock, M.D. is dedicated to assisting young people in living up to their full potential. Raised on Cape Cod, she benefited from education in the schools of Chatham at a time when academics were generously augmented by an array of service/recreational clubs and programs in fine arts, performing arts and industrial arts as well as athletics. Both through personal experience and professional training, Dr. Alcock has a clear perspective on the impact of resources on child development. Throughout her years at Wellesley College (Class of '69), McGill University (B. Sc.), and Boston University School of Medicine her commitment to the many issues of children grew. Practice with the National Health Service in rural Vermont convinced her that psycho-social issues comprised an impressive segment of pediatric medicine. Residency in Psychiatry at Naval Hospital, San Diego, CA provided a firm foundation in general psychiatry with a unique perspective on the developmental issues of late adolescence. On return to Cape Cod, Dr. Alcock with husband Jeffrey Frankel established ACCEPT, Inc. through which they have created a range of programs for court-involved youth.
