Congratulations to Our Retiring Staff!

It is bittersweet that we announce the retirement of Drs. Luana Turner and Margaret Distler from the UCLA Aftercare Program. Dr. Turner served as a case manager, therapist, and clinical supervisor. Dr. Distler served as a psychiatrist and medical director. We will miss them greatly but wish them all the best in their future endeavors!

Check out these photos from when staff and loved ones got together to celebrate these two incredible professionals (left: Dr. Turner, right: Dr. Distler)!

We would also like to formally welcome Dr. Dennis Dacarett-Galeano, MD, MPH and Dr. Paige Bakman, LMFT, PsyD to UCLA Aftercare! We are excited to have you join our team of clinicians and researchers. Please join us in welcoming Drs. Bakman and Galeano!
