Meet Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk, PhD, APRN-CNP, FAANP, FNAP, FAAN
For Bernadette Melnyk, the COPE Program is the realization of a lifelong dream to bring young people the type of help that was unavailable to her during her own difficult teenage years. When Bern was 15 years of age, her mother died suddenly from a stroke right in front of her. The Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression that followed lasted a few years and went untreated.

Bern is a nationally/internationally recognized author, speaker, practitioner, researcher and expert in child, adolescent and young adult mental health, evidence-based practice, intervention research and health and well-being. She has over publications, including a book entitled A Practical Guide to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Screening, Early Intervention, and Health Promotion (3rd edition) (). New York, NY: Sprin
