Theme: Mental Health
Mental health addresses many complex areas through integrative, transdisciplinary research and innovation. Recognizing the influence of social determinants, Convergence Mental Health uses a comprehensive framework that considers socioeconomic conditions, education and community context, alongside cultural and geographic factors emphasized in global mental health. Rather than solely treating a person’s individual mental health, the lab examines how biological regulation, relationships, institutions and social environments interact to shape well-being across the lifespan. This approach integrates place-based initiatives, neuroscience, behavioral science, data science and community-engaged practice. The initiative develops and evaluates scalable strategies that strengthen resilience, improves access to care. and supports participation in school, work and civic life.
