On July 30, 2020, Dr. Sarah Vinson joined the first event of the national Well Beings Tour with Dr. Erica Fener Sitkoff, executive director of Voices for Georgia's Children, and Dr. Roy Reese, psychologist and director of Behavioral Health at Akoma Counseling and Consulting, to discuss youth mental health as Georgia prepares to reopen its schools during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The national Well Beings Tour is a series of events scheduled to take place in 24 cities through 2022.
