Lab Showcases Child Development Research at CPA in Montreal

Our lab was well represented at the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Annual Convention in Montreal, Quebec last week. We showcased research reflecting the breadth of our work on caregiver-child relationships, trauma, attachment, and methodological innovation.

These presentations highlighted the lab’s commitment to generating high-quality, policy-relevant, and clinically meaningful research. We are so proud of our team’s contributions to this year’s CPA Convention and look forward to continuing to develop and share impactful research.
