Tingen as Principal Investigator. Dr. Marlo M. Vernon, co-investigator, Gina Hopf, Lindsay Mangrum and Matt Humphries are also team members.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness Augusta Family Support Group will meet immediately following at 6 p.m. for anyone who loves someone with a mental health condition and would like to attend.
