The STIR Lab, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Usha Tummala-Narra, is located within Boston College's Lynch School of Education and Human Development. In this lab, we are interested in understanding the mental health and well-being among individuals and communities that are less visible within psychological research. Our research involves exploring the contextual and cultural influences on mental health and traumatic stress, with the overarching goal of improving how research and clinical practice can best address the needs of individuals across different sociocultural backgrounds.
