Dr. Myers has been engaging with persons with lived experience, clinicians, communities, and youth around topics related to youth mental health and crisis care since 2014 in the north Texas area. From 2014-2017, she led an ethnographic project involving 47 diverse young persons and their families about how they made decisions after an initial emergency hospitalization. This has resulted in several articles and her most recent book, Breaking Points: Youth Mental Health Crises and How We All Can Help.

From 2020-2025, she also worked alongside researchers at  EPINET-TX as part of a larger National Institute of Mental Health-funded endeavor to create hubs for research around the country that accelerate advances in early psychosis care and recovery outcomes through learning health care partnerships.

Her team interviewed individuals with early psychosis who report using substances to give those in the medical field a better understanding of what kind of support would have the most significant impact, as well as community providers to plan stronger community-based offerings, including in rural areas.

Myers current work focuses on advocating for the importance of early intervention and improving crisis care. She is also working on projects to offer young people opportunities to make meaning out of their unusual experiences through artificial intelligence, and arts and faith-based interventions.
