The goal of the POSTSCRIPT research lab is to read between the lines, developing interventions for those in the margins. We strive to reduce suicide and mental health care disparities for underserved youth stemming from child trauma exposure. This program consists of three separate but interrelated areas:

1. The development of culturally-sensitive evidence-based trauma and suicide interventions for underserved youth.
2. Reduction in barriers to improved mental health among diverse and underserved communities via the examination of the relationship between cultural factors and symptom presentation.
3. Examination of positive factors (e.g., coping, quality of life) that contribute to improved mental health.
