Día de los Mu***os is a joyous Mexican holiday dedicated to remembering and honoring departed ancestors and loved ones, and is meaningful for many of our staff, members, associates, and patients in the community. Families create colorful ofrendas (altars) with photos, candles, and marigolds to help ancestors' souls find their way home.

“I chose to get into this work because early intervention is the key to lifelong well-being and mental health,” said board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist and Memphis Medical Society member Alicia Barnes, D.O., M.P.H.

In her new role as Urban Child Institute Endowed Chair of Excellence for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, a position she stepped into this summer, her work will focus on improving mental health and wellness outcomes for young people and their families.
