“I can’t begin to express how instrumental CACAP has been in shaping my educational trajectory! Having joined as a medical student, I’ve had the privilege of attending the annual conferences since before I even entered general psychiatry residency training — my experiences there, in addition to the genuine warmth and camaraderie among the CACAP community, reinforced my commitment to pursuing a career in child and youth mental health. As a resident, I’ve been fortunate to deepen my involvement with the organization, learning from inspiring mentors across the country through participation on the Communications and Advocacy Committees. I look forward to many more years of collaborating with CACAP colleagues as we strive to optimize the care we provide to youth and families!”
