Remembering Jennifer Golick, Ph.D.
Tragically, on March 9, 2018, Muir Wood founding member Dr. Jennifer Golick and two colleagues, Jennifer Gonzales-Shushereba and Christine Loeber, were the victims of a mass shooting at The Pathway Home in Yountville, California by a former patient suffering from PTSD and mental illness. Dr. Golick was a beloved and dedicated clinician who helped develop the Muir Wood adolescent treatment program and whose exceptional talents and endless compassion helped hundreds of teens and families restore quality of life, relationship, health, and hope. During her tenure here, every member of the Muir Wood team, every patient family, and friends and colleagues across the country came to recognize Jennifer’s intellect, passion, and rare ability to connect deeply with young people to make lasting positive change. We choose to continue sharing Jennifer’s presentations below as we believe they are a part of her living legacy of caring.
