Social relationships and mental health

My main focus is on the link between social relationships and mental health. Social relationships can mitigate mental health problems, through support and affection, but at the same time social relationships - or a lack thereof - can be precursors and consequences of poor mental health. In my work, I aim to study the co-development of social relationships and mental health and study the effectiveness of using social dynamics to prevent mental health problems in youths and adults.
