Social Processes and Social Contexts of Mental Health

Our researchers apply social and cultural psychology to understand how social identity, culture, and environment shape mental health and wellbeing. This includes work on the social determinants of mental health and substance use. We also examine how environmental and ecological factors, such as climate change, can shape mental health outcomes. Interdisciplinary research connects social psychology and mental health and delivers real-world impact.
