Biography

Short presentation

My research today focuses on youth mental health. I work within the interdisciplinary research program UPIC – Youth Mental Health in Focus. UPIC aims to deepen knowledge about youth mental health, including expressions of both well-being and mental ill-health - knowledge that can be used for improced prediction, prevention and provision of timely support and care. By combining different scientific perspectives and methods, UPIC seeks to strengthen young people's mental health.

My research focuses on pediatric psychology, especially children and familes affected by cancer.The overarching aim of my research is to increase our knowledge of psychological, behavioural and social consequences of severe illness such as cancer and to identify the care needs of patients, their families and significant others. The goal is to use this knowledge to further develop psychosocial care and support measures for patients and families.
