FRAME Lab

The Family Resilience and Mindfulness Empowerment (FRAME) Lab seeks to leverage knowledge on the continuity and change in the development of human and family resiliency to design, evaluate, and implement mindfulness-informed family-based interventions to empower families and prevent mental disorders.

An important line of research in the Lab is focused on parenthood, as parenting is filled with numerous doings which can support or hinder a child’s healthy development. In stressful circumstances, being mindful and compassionate helps parents to drop into their moment-to-moment experiences and be in touch with their true selves and their child’s true self.
