TITLE
Promoting child mental well-being and effective parent-teacher support
ABSTRACT
This talk will describe a program of research aimed at promoting child mental well-being and effective parent-teacher support. A series of studies will be presented examining how attention, behaviour, and cognitions relate to each other for families and youth with challenges with inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. The important role of cognitions, in particular self-efficacy and attributions, will be highlighted. Such research has the ultimate goal of improving psychological assessments and interventions for families, classrooms, and youth.

Annually the Department of Psychology hosts a Colloquia Series throughout the academic year. This exciting program brings us together outside of the classroom to have conversations with the speakers we’ve invited to our campus to share their ideas. You’ll have the chance to hear from international speakers on a wide range of provocative topics.
