This conference series, dedicated to honoring Douglas G. Ullman, one of CRC's Founders and first Board President, brings top experts in behavioral health to Bowling Green, OH.

We will be joined by Jordan Garza, Founder and CEO of Lifeline Strategies, LLC and Program Coordinator for Wood County Addiction Response and Stabilization. Jordan will present his findings on how social media and technology affect youth behavioral health on a local level, identifying them as contributing risk factors linked to violence, mental health issues, and substance use disorders!

This workshop explores how today’s digital environment is shaping the emotional, social, cognitive, and behavioral health of children and adolescents, drawing on neuroscience, developmental psychology, behavioral design research, and direct clinical and classroom experience.
