Marisol Meyer
Department of Educational & Psychological Studies
Outstanding CPY Doctoral Student
Marisol's research, clinical work, and teaching focus on how unique community strengths and evidence-informed/evidence-based practice can be coalesced to promote wellness. Marisol has coordinated and co-designed interventions and curricula addressing community-selected topics such as trauma-informed mental health support, emotion socialization, and ethnic racial identity development. These programs have reached community-leaders, teachers, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and youth. Her experiences engaging with community needs through research and intervention have given her extensive experience in program manualization and adaptation. Marisol prioritizes a community-focused dissemination approach, prioritizing the act of sharing research findings with the community-members with whom she proudly collaborates and the broader public.
