Dr. Kelli Tahaney

Bringing the science of recovery to your audience

I love talking about adolescent mental health, addiction, and recovery — translating real research into language that lands, whether the room is full of clinicians, students, parents, or coaches.

Where I'm glad to speak

  • Research conferences — panels or symposiums
  • Podcast and media guest appearances
  • Advocacy events focused on addiction, overdose, or adolescent mental health
  • Teen groups — schools, youth organizations, and collegiate sports teams, on adolescent mental health and substance use
  • Adult groups — parents, coaches, and mentors of adolescents
  • Mental health professional events offering continuing education credits
  • Leadership events and panels for mental health field trainees
