Just returned from Albuquerque, where I had the honor of presenting at the NLBHA conference on how the American Psychiatric Association is working to support Latino mental health. Grateful for the chance to connect, share, and learn alongside such dedicated advocates.

I was honored to represent @APAPsychiatric at the 121st JSPN Congress in Kobe, Japan earlier this year. I joined a Leaders Roundtable, presented on collaborative care in the geriatric population, and served as judge and discussant for Fellowship Award Symposiums. #JSPN121

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

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 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.
