The goal of our research is to improve mental healthcare and promote well-being for individuals who are currently or formerly incarcerated.
We have a longstanding collaboration with the State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections that allows us to develop services and supports for people currently incarcerated in state prisons. We also work with formerly incarcerated people in our community. Our research approach includes community engagement, clinical trials, as well as basic studies on psychological and neurobiological functions relevant for emotion and decision-making. More information regarding our studies is available on the following pages: Community Engagement, Prison Mental Health Research, Neuroscience Research and Publications.
