It was an honor to represent APA at the Canadian Psychiatric Association meeting along with CEO & Medical Director Dr. Marketa M. Wills. I presented on the role that collaborative care will play in psychiatry's future.

At the 2025 Brain Health Summit in DC on Sept. 11, I joined a panel on “Collaboration to Action: Leading Across the House of Medicine.” It was a great reminder that every medical specialty has a role in advancing mental health, and together we can empower healthier communities.
On Sept 4–5, I delivered a keynote on workforce challenges and supporting local initiatives at the Puerto Rico Mental Health Summit. I also met with residents at the University of Puerto Rico Medical School. With my Puerto Rican heritage, this trip was especially meaningful.
At the @RCPsych International Congress in Wales, I presented a plenary on advances in U.S. psychiatric care and the Collaborative Care Model. Collaborating with international colleagues is invaluable as we work together to transform mental health care. #RCPsychIC
