I have been a faculty member in the Community Psychology program at Laurier since 1979. I have a BA from the University of Illinois and a MA and PhD from the University of Manitoba. I completed a pre-doctoral internship in Clinical-Community Psychology at Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison, Wisconsin in 1976-77, and prior to joining Laurier I was a School Psychologist at the Child Guidance Clinic of Winnipeg.My research and teaching have focused on community mental health, housing, homelessness, and primary prevention for young children and their families. I am a member of the research team for At Home/Chez Soi, a Canadian Housing First research demonstration project, and the Better Beginnings, Better Futures research group.
