Karey L. O'Hara
Assistant Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, USAAbout the author:
My research focuses on risk and protective factors that predict how youth adjust after contact with the juvenile, family, or criminal legal system. I use this information to design interventions that are informed by science, easy to use, and effective in protecting and promoting mental health.
What I want to achieve:
I want families facing stressful events in their lives to have access to evidence-based programs that protect and promote their children’s health and wellness.
Awards & accomplishments:
I have published my research in scientific journals such as Clinical Psychological Science, Journal of Family Psychology, and Child Development. My work is currently funded by a career development award from the National Institute of Mental Health.
