Dr. K. Ron-Li Liaw and Dr. Bruno Anthony have been featured in a Education Week article that describes the partnership between The Cherry Creek School District, Children’s Hospital Colorado and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine Anschutz Medical Campus. As a result of the youth mental health crisis that spiked after the pandemic, this partnership aims to provide proper care and support to Colorado children and teens. With the implementation of a new day-treatment center, students will have access to mental health services when needed. “We feel very strongly that the right place for support and care is where kids live, and learn, and connect, and play, and where families can easily access services and expertise in the right time,” said Dr. Liaw.
