My program of research examines risk and protective factors for substance use and substance use disorders among adolescents and emerging adults, including Latino/a/x adolescents and emerging adults.

In terms of clinical practice, I am interested in mental health and substance use disorder treatment, including providing services for Spanish speaking clients. To this end, I have developed a specialty practicum, CHGUnido, in order to train Spanish-speaking students in the provision of mental health services in Spanish and to increase access to Spanish language mental health services in the Bloomington community. **Students who are interested in training in the provision of mental health services in Spanish through in the CHGUnido specialty practicum should be fluent Spanish speakers.

Ofrecemos servicios de consejería confidencial para individuales, familias y parejas en el Centro de Crecimiento Humano (CHGUnido). Para contactarnos, llame al 812-856-6975 o enviarnos un correo electrónico CHGUnido@indiana.edu.
