Suzanne Mallery

Suzanne Mallery is the Mental Health Strategist for Inland Empire Health Plan, which serves Riverside and San Bernardino counties in California. In this role, she identifies root causes of both clinical care gaps and disparities in treatment and outcomes in the areas of mental health and substance use. Based on these findings, she proposes and collaborates on implementing strategies to improve access to care and improve health equity. As a clinical psychologist, Suzanne has worked extensively with children and adolescents with neuropsychological impacts of prenatal substance exposure, and this experience has made her a staunch advocate for harm reduction in her community. Prior to her current role, she was an associate professor of psychology and Director of the Program in Neuroscience at La Sierra University in California, where she designed academic courses and programs in neuroscience and social ecology.
