Our overarching goal is to conduct cutting edge, clinically relevant research on identifying processes of coping and adjustment in families of youth with chronic health conditions. 

We seek to use this knowledge to develop meaningful, effective interventions for these families that promote resiliency and foster optimal quality of life. 

Ultimately, we aim to disseminate these clinical tools to pediatric psychologists and health care professionals around the country to aid in their delivery of evidence-based services in multiple treatment settings.
