We are beyond thrilled to announce that our esteemed alumnus, Dr. Stephania Hayes, has made a remarkable stride in her career! Now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UC Davis, she continues to leave her mark in the mental health field, with her focus on rural mental health access, peer support, and increasing the accessibility of scientific findings for the benefit of all. Dr. Hayes, whose past research includes the exploration of occupational stress, consumer-driven mental health programs, and more, now leads the Lived Experience Integration Team at UC Davis. We are immensely proud of her journey from a dedicated student to an influential academic guiding the next generation of peer support providers. We wish you continued success, Dr. Hayes!
