Research Overview
We focus on clinical research to improve the lives of children, youth, and their families who have mental health difficulties. We are dedicated to the understanding of the unique strengths and challenges, and the beliefs, attitudes, and actions of this population, in order to develop and evaluate innovative and evidence-based practices for patients, professionals, and public community. Our work is closely integrated with the Outpatient Child & Youth Mental Health Program of BC Children's Hospital.
