Adolescence and emerging adulthood (early 20s) are periods of heightened risk for mental health problems, including anxiety and depression. In the Cognition, Psychopathology, Environment (CoPE) lab, we seek to better understand risk and resilience factors for mental health during this period, focusing on how stress, cognitive function (especially executive function), and coping strategies interact. By identifying who is at risk, and why, the ultimate aim of this research is to identify strategies for screening, prevention and intervention.
