Psychology
Common behavioral health issues of childhood frequently evolve into more serious disorders at later stages in development if left untreated. Our team's research focuses on examining interventions for best addressing these concerns and how to effectively apply them across settings (e.g., primary care, schools). Studies also examine the best techniques for training the behavioral health workforce in how to utilize these best practices.
