Professional Interests:
My research interests include processes of recovery from psychiatric and substance use disorders, especially innovative and community-based collaborations.
One of my focuses has been on how use of the arts, especially photography, informs a person’s personal journey and recovery, and can promote community health, expecially through innovative methods such as Photovoice. With Kyle Pedersen and Lucile Bruce, I co-founded the Parachute Factory, an innovative arts collaborative between PRCH, the Community Services Network (CSN), and the Arts Council of Greater New Haven. The project’s mission is to create innovative and inclusive projects in the visual and performing arts. We opened the Parachute Factory Gallery in the spring of 2008, located within the shared offices of PRCH and the CSN at Erector Square in New Haven. The gallery has 3 shows a year featuring artists from all backgrounds and focusing on themes of community health and social justice.
I am currently working on the Person Centered Planning Implementation grant, as well as other projects related to implementing person-centered planning around the state of CT. Other interests include humor and its role in recovery and wellness, the relationship between person and provider, and peer support. Curriculum Vitae
