Job Summary

CFIS is a large and growing research center focused on family-based prevention and treatment of youth suicide and other related disorders. On the prevention side, we have several grants focused on screening and referral in medical, educational, and behavioral health settings. Using a web-based screening program (BH-Works.com), we have screened over 100,000 youth with a general 5% identification rate of youth needing urgent attention. This line of research also yields a very rich data set for young staff and faculty to publish. On the treatment side, we have developed and tested Attachment Based Family Therapy for the treatment of youth depression, suicide, eating disorders and trauma. This empirically supported treatment is used in behavioral health centers around the world supporting research on adoption, implementation, and sustainability.
