The IVY lab, run by Dr. Laura Lambe, focuses on better understanding the link between young people’s relationships and their mental health, with a specific focus on bullying, peer victimization, and bystander intervention.
The overarching goal of our research is to interrupt the developmental continuity between relationship problems and subsequent mental health difficulties by 1) mobilizing the power of the peer group to safely reduce rates of peer victimization; and 2) promoting the social-emotional development of vulnerable youth.
We highly value co-creating research with community partners and use novel methods (e.g., virtual reality) to answer these research questions.
