Our Goals
Our current projects are addressing two national & international needs:
(A) Integrating mental health promotion in the classrooms to enhance both academic and psychological well-being, and
(B) Elevating mental health equity by creating culturally, linguistically, and developmentally appropriate tools for diverse populations to improve access.
What We Do
To enhance psychological well-being in the classrooms, our team has been exploring with collaborators the feasibility, efficacy, and mechanism of brief meditation. To empower minoritized youths to help themselves cope with adversities along with mental health challenges, our research team is developing culturally tailored intervention strategies and tools. Our project Preventing Depression of Chinese American Adolescents through Mobile Health Application is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21MD016513).
