Children's Mental Health
Several initiatives in the Refugee Wellness Lab center on the importance of supporting infant early childhood mental health as a foundation for life-long development, learning, and health outcomes. Dr. Hilado and colleagues study the impact of early childhood family-level interventions that promote IECMH, adult mental health, and family wellbeing.
