Dr. Pamela Morris-Perez is a Professor of Applied Psychology at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, and an Affiliated Professor at the NYU School of Global Public Health. An interdisciplinary scholar, Dr. Morris-Perez conducts research at the intersection of developmental psychology, suicidology, education, and policy. Her newest research, borne from the loss of her 17-year-old daughter to suicide in 2019, addresses adolescent suicide from a developmentally informed, population-health perspective as part of the newly launched center, ARCADIA (A Research Center for Adolescent Interconnected Approaches) for Suicide Prevention. With over $6M in funding from the William T. Grant Foundation and NIMH, she brings prevention to the spaces where youth are – schools and emergency departments – to help more youth connect to care more quickly.
The free webinar will be held on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, from 5:00 – 6:00 pm, Pacific Time via Zoom.
