Led by Dr. Lisa Wexler, the Research to Practice (R2P) Lab reflects a participatory research program that is animated by community and interdisciplinary collaboration, scientific, cultural and local knowledges, and reciprocal relationships.
The R2P Lab supports research done in partnership with communities and focused on strengths. The participatory research projects within the lab use community-based participatory approaches, social network analysis, digital storytelling, and more conventional methods to develop interventions to promote mental wellness and address (or prevent) suicide, harmful substance use, and other complex behavioral health issues that affect people’s wellbeing.
