THRIVE Research Lab

Together promoting Health and Resilience through Interventions, Voice, & Empowerment

Mission

We are dedicated to community-centered, participatory research and action that promotes healing and resilience among youth, families, and communities experiencing trauma and chronic stress.

Vision

We aim to promote healing and resilience through an innovative program of research systematically designed to partner with communities to develop and implement strength-based solutions grounded in cultural humility.

Approach

Community-based participatory research: Research that equitably involves community partners throughout the research process with an emphasis on both building knowledge and directly improving the community’s health and well-being.

Cultural humility: Incorporates a lifelong commitment to learning and self-critique, to mitigating power imbalances, and to advocating for institutional change in partnership with diverse communities.
