Professor of Psychology at INVEST Research Flagship Centre, University of Turku.
My research has focused on the impact of war and violence on child and adolescent development. My main interest is on the effectiveness of interventions supporting mental health and treating trauma symptoms. Implementing research into society has also been an important part of my work.
I am one of the three lead instructors in the Specialist Training Program for Child and Adolescent Psychologists (Lasten ja Nuorten erikosipsykologkoulutus, LaNu)
I teach at INVEST Master and Doctoral programs about prevention and intervention, migration and ethnicity etc. I also supervise master- and doctoral thesis in the field of child mental health, trauma and cognitions.
