Dr. Talmi is the Robert J. Harmon Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the Departments of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Children’s Hospital Colorado, and she engages in integrated behavioral health and early childhood systems and workforce capacity building and implementation, direct service, scholarship, advocacy, and policy efforts in Colorado and nationally.
