It is sure to provide thought provoking concepts and broadened awareness for practitioners in all areas of mental health.

Presenter: Michelle Horwitz
A graduate of the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis with a concentration in Parent-Child Mental Health Advocacy, Social Work was a monumental turning point in Michelle Horwitz’s professional life. After 8 years in the New York City commercial photography industry, Michelle changed careers to focus on her passion for promoting children and family well-being. Michelle currently works at as a clinical researcher on the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Her research interests include: the long term effects of repeated exposure to early traumatic and distressing experiences, the impact of stress on the developing brain, and the etiology of mental illness. Michelle intends to continue pursuing the mechanisms that influence infants and families who are at risk for poor health and behavioral health outcomes. She also aims to integrate developmental approaches to psychopathology and prevention science to inform empirically based policy in order to promote the wellbeing of infants and families through systems change more broadly.
