Building Resilience to Support Healthy Families and Children [ 2016 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Fiona Mensah (Principal investigator)

Brief description This research investigates effects of social adversity on the health of parents and carers and their children. We will examine the effects of adversity on parents’ and carers’ physical and mental health, health behaviours and capacity to provide care for their children, and how in turn children’s health and development may be affected. We will then examine whether designing health services that are responsive to families specific needs and strengths may help to promote health and resilience.
