OUR MISSION
In the Mindful Wellness Lab, we use biobehavioral methods framed with a holistic approach to:
- study non-pharmacologic, person-centered strategies for enhancing mental wellness
- break down barriers to and disparities in health & wellness, particularly during the perinatal period (planning/pregnancy/postpartum/parenting)
~ with the ultimate goal of improving health of women, children, and families ~
