Colleen Williams, Mount Vernon, WA -- Colleen, who has been a psychiatric mental health nurse for more than 20 years, will graduate from the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practioner program at the University of Washington this week. She plans to pursue a doctor of nursing practice with a specialty in perinatal/infant mental health so that she can work with pregnant teens and have more of an impact on bonding and attachment and the reduction of ACEs. With an ACE score of 5, she's interested in finding ways to disseminate ACE Study findings through curriculum development, creative use of the media, and in designing community-based participatory research to integrate mental and physical health.
