Our lab was well represented at the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Annual Convention in St. John’s, Newfoundland this week. We showcased our research through symposia, posters, and presentations, reflecting the breadth and depth of our work on caregiver-child relationships, trauma, attachment, and methodological innovation.

These presentations highlight the lab’s commitment to generating high-quality, policy-relevant, and clinically meaningful research. We are incredibly proud of our team’s contributions to this year’s CPA Convention and look forward to continuing to build research that informs and empowers. Learn more about our research on our new website!
