Behavioral Health, Suicide Prevention the Focus of TMA’s Next Distinguished Speaker Series

Behavioral Health Conversation

Suicide rates are increasing, and suicide remains among the leading causes of death for Texans.

Join experts virtually on Nov. 17 from noon to 1 pm to learn how to improve the behavioral health care systems that strengthen Texas communities and reduce suicide risk at the next Distinguished Speaker Series hosted by the Texas Medical Association and Texas Public Health Coalition (TPHC).

Moderated by TPHC Chair Jason Terk, MD, the panel discussion will feature:

  • Thomas Kim, MD, MPH, chief behavioral health officer of Prism Health North Texas;
  • Celia Neavel, MD, medical director for the Center for Adolescent Health at People’s Community Clinic in Austin; and
  • Kimberly Roaten, PhD, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UT Southwestern Medical Center, and a senior fellow for suicide prevention at the Texas-based Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. 

In-person registration for the event is closed, but you can still stream via Facebook Live

The Distinguished Speaker Series is made possible through a grant from the TMA Foundation.
