About Us

The research of CAMH Lab focuses on psychosocial mechanisms which promote mental health in toddlers, children, and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, neurological disorders, and other physical problems. Of particular importance to our research is an understanding of the developmental trajectories of emotional regulation in these toddlers, children, and adolescents, and how individual factors (i.e., the use of mental state language and social-cognitive abilities) , family , and other social contexts influence their development of emotional regulation. In addition, we aimed to further develop mental health intervention (e.g., toddlers and children’s mentalization programs or parent education programs) for these toddlers and children to promote their development of emotional regulation.
