Building Restorative Initiatives for Dialogue, Governance & Engagement (BRIDGE) Lab

Psychology Department | University of Alaska Fairbanks

The BRIDGE Lab examines how intergroup conflict, collective crises, and structural inequities affect mental health and community wellbeing. We focus on practices that foster accountability, reconciliation, and healing - particularly through trauma-informed and restorative approaches. Our goal is to generate research that supports individuals and communities facing adversity, with an emphasis on culturally responsive and community-driven frameworks for mental health.
