Gary M. Burlingame, psychology professor at Brigham Young University, will speak at the annual Martin B. Hickman Outstanding Scholar Lecture Thursday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. in 250 Spencer W. Kimball Tower.

The title of his lecture is “Addressing Mental Health Funding Cuts with Evidence-Based Interventions: The Promise of Small Group Treatments.” Admission is free and the public is welcome to attend.

Burlingame received a doctorate in counseling psychology from the University of Utah in 1983 and joined BYU’s faculty the same year. He has served as a consultant to more than 20 federal, state and private entities, including the White House, the Department of Labor and the Food and Drug Administration.
