Supporting Health, Adjustment, Resilience, & Knowledge Lab

Director: Christina M Sharkey, PhD

Purpose

More than 20 million youth in America live with a chronic health condition, which can add numerous stressors and demands for youth and families. The SHARK Lab aims to identify factors that predict distress and resilience adjustment trajectories. We then use this knowledge to develop integrated programs that promote positive health outcomes and support youth and families as they ride the waves of complex medical conditions.
