**We are thrilled to introduce Marcus Gottlieb as the 2nd Mental Health Equity Fellow at UBCO!**

Marcus, a dedicated 3rd-year PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program, brings a unique blend of expertise to the table. He combines a background in government service, having worked for the Ontario Provincial Government, with a deep passion for supporting individuals through delivering evidence-based psychological interventions and conducting research to inform these interventions.
On a broader scale, he is eager to leverage this expertise to advance mental health policy by collaborating with BC government officials, academics, and practitioners, with the goal of driving meaningful systemic change in British Columbia.

This fellowship has been made possible thanks to the generous support between the Barber Endowment Fund within the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences and the BC Psychological Association.
