Like our name, our research focuses on expanding thriving and health equity, often centering schools as critical regulators of development and wellbeing.

Below we summarize our research across key topical strands.
Research on relationship-oriented scholastic practices in K-12 schools that promote health equity and enhance youth belonging, mental health, and wellbeing.
Research on student scholastic experiences related to their socio-cultural identities and associated outcomes of belonging, mental health, and wellbeing.
