💙 Nevada’s kids deserve the best future, and supporting mental health is a great way to start!
On November 4th, The Lincy Institute at UNLV, and the UNLV Department of Psychology teamed up for “Advancing Children’s Mental Health in Nevada.”
It was an inspiring event filled with big ideas, local voices, and real talk about how we can better support youth mental health across our state. We are proud that our very own Senior Research Associate, Mayra Pacheco, was a panelist at this event. ✨
