#ChatGPT suggested I read a recent article written by colleagues on #ImplementationScience - it sounded legit but was totally made up.

So far, AI is a super helpful tool but far from a substitute. I like to think of it that way instead of “the computers are coming for us” #StaySkeptical.

Too easy 4 #families to fall through the cracks in #BehavioralHealth care. Just getting to the right #therapy door is hard—staying long enough to heal is harder.

Tara Shuman & I wrote on this in a new #CBT book - The bigger Q about access: how do #psychologists make the right thing the easy thing?

It's clear this instability is also impacting young people in #California. I'm looking forward to connecting w/ #psychologists Sept at #CPA2025 in Long Beach. Drs. Kathy Williams, @drdrea.bsky.social, Kelsey Dickson & I will open a dialogue at our session: Young People In Crisis

MEET, a treatment engagement intervention, helped bridge the gap between treatment settings in San Diego County. Participants were nearly 2x as likely to connect to next-step in SUD care.

San Diego lost a hero today. Eloise Battle fought to preserve Tecolote Canyon for our community. It exists as an open space because of her courage and determination. I will always be grateful to her and will constantly try to learn from her example ♥️
