About Melissa Young
Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, dedicated to advancing the field of youth and young adult suicide prevention through research, education, policy, and evidence-based clinical care.My work spans clinical, systems, and public health domains, integrating academic scholarship with implementation science to advance outcomes for youth and young adults at risk for suicide. I focus on applying evidence-based practices, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and leading systems- and policy-level initiatives that enhance access, quality, safety, and sustainability of suicide-focused care.As both a clinician, educator, and leader, I am deeply committed to transforming research into meaningful practice, building partnerships across disciplines, and shaping organizational and policy structures that advance population-level suicide prevention efforts. I am dedicated to inspiring and preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals to think critically, act with compassion, and lead with purpose in clinical, academic, and systems settings.I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my leadership reach, contribute to program innovation, and engage in national initiatives that advance suicide prevention and strengthen crisis care systems across communities.
