Using a developmental life course approach, Dr. Archana Basu conducts research to understand how trauma characteristics (e.g., type and chronicity of trauma) and protective factors (e.g., parenting) shape children’s health trajectories. As a practicing psychologist, Dr. Basu works with children, young people, and their families to promote coping in the context of trauma and bereavement. She has a particular focus on family-based interventions in the perinatal and early childhood periods and integrated models of mental health care.
