In the MINDS Lab, we are scholar-activists. We aim to improve mental health practices and policies to promote resilience, directly informed by the lived experiences of individuals with diverse developmental pathways and intersectional identities across the lifespan and neurodiverse spectrum. Guided by the theoretical framework of developmental psychopathology and methods from cognitive neuroscience, quantitative psychology, and community-based research, we study adaptation in the context of society. By uncovering the developmental, compensatory, and structural processes that support wellness, we strive to inform person-centered and strength-based systems of population health and, ultimately, bridge gaps between research, practice, and policy.
