Maya M. Boustani, PhD, MS

I am pursuing a program of community-engaged research focused on reducing mental health disparities for vulnerable youth and families. My research rests on three principles (a) prioritize research-practice partnerships in the design and delivery of services; (b) identify low-cost ways to disseminate evidence-based practices in communities of need, using indigenous resources; and (c) attend closely to workforce and organizational factors that support feasibility, effective implementation, and sustainability of evidence based practice.
