Empowering
change by disseminating findings and implications
Research is an important part
of learning and discovery - it allows us to systematically
answer questions of importance and value. I find that there
is a fruitful, reciprocal relationship between clinical
work and research endeavors. My clinical work often serves
to raise the questions that I seek to answer through
research, and the results we generate from research
findings are integral to helping clients progress in
treatment through understanding best clinical practices and
enhancing knowledge and understanding of different mental
health issues.
My colleagues and I present findings from our research
studies at local, national, and international conferences
and publish research results in peer-reviewed scholarly
journals. Yet not everyone who could benefit from knowing
the study findings has easy access to these venues. Visit
my blog, in which I provide highlights of the key findings
from our work, in addition to other musings.
