“It was amazing to be surrounded by so many experts in the field of youth mental health. I felt confirmed in our work here at CCAMH and I got to soak in even more information and research that we can apply to our practice.” - Krissy Krull, Marriage and Family Therapy Trainee
TAG RESEARCH PROGRAM CELEBRATION DINNER
Our 2025 TAG researchers have recently finished collecting responses for the survey they created to research the state of youth mental health in SLO County.
They will be presenting their research findings at the SLO High Wellness Center on Tuesday, May 27th at 6pm. All are welcome to attend and the research findings will be posted to our website after the presentation.
