From the Editor

 

Jonathan Bauman, M.D., LFAPA

Happy summer solstice everyone!  In this edition of our newsletter you will meet Agnes Simone, DO, one of our most recent ABAP diplomates, whom I had the pleasure of talking with a few weeks ago.  Dr. Simone has had interesting and valuable experience in her journey to the field of adolescent and young adult psychiatry, and I urge you to read her interview.

 

Also, there have been exciting developments in the growth of our Board and hosting Society.  You will find links in this newsletter to a lecture delivered by ASAP president, Aaron Krasner, as well as an interesting discussion about engaging our youth during our current mental health crisis, delivered by three of our members at the recent APA Convention in San Francisco.

 

In addition, you will find, as usual, links to educational and training websites.

 

Have a safe and joyful summer!l.
