My research is in the field of complex child trauma and mental health. Broadly, my work spans three areas: (i) the identification of key psychological and social processes linking trauma exposure the mental health and wellbeing; (ii) the development and testing of scalable mental health intervention for trauma-exposed young people; and (iii) the implementation of existing best-evidenced practice within and across social care and mental health services. Much of my research is focused on improving the identification and support of the mental health needs of care-experienced young people.
