Lilian G. Bravo received her BS and PhD in nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). She aspires to increase access and optimize the delivery of mental health care for ethnoracially minoritized youth through culturally- and contextually-congruent interventions. She has previously been funded by a T32 Pre‐Doctoral Trainee Award, NR007091‐22: Interventions for Preventing & Managing Chronic Illness at UNC-CH, the Hillman Scholars Program in Nursing Innovation, and the NIMH-funded Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Training Program at the University of Miami. Her current research interests are to (1) improve suicide risk detection and (2) identify mental health service engagement strategies for minoritized adolescents. In her spare time, she likes keeping up with new music releases and spending time with her dog, Miguel.
