A Point of Pride  

My research supporting the national scaling of the Icelandic Prevention Model (an intervention designed to create population-level impacts on youth substance use and wellbeing).

How I am Working to Make a Difference for Those Living with Mental Illness 

My research program is broadly focused on creating healthy developmental contexts for children and young people. Therefore, we adapt our strategies to target emergent critical issues that are having significant impacts on child and youth wellbeing, including increasing inequities, online harms and climate change.
