Jenni Young Email and Phone Number

I am a seasoned researcher and trained couples and family therapist, working at the intersection of health equity, family systems, and genetics. Currently, I'm leading innovative psychosocial genetics research at Northwestern University, where my primary focus is on the ethical and equitable implementation of genetic testing services. My research is also focused on advocating for mental health resources directed towards families with rare or undiagnosed diseases. These initiatives are specifically tailored for families navigating the complexities of genetic testing for inherited health conditions, addressing a critical gap in the healthcare system. My work not only bridges vital disciplines but also champions the integration of cultural humility in genetic counseling and patient-centered care.
