Dr. Lumley's Research Program
1. Cognitive-Developmental Models of Adolescent Mood Psychopathology and Resilience: this line of research has been funded by the Ontario Mental Health Foundation New Investigator Fellowship and forms the heart of Dr. Lumley’s research program. Several related projects fall under this umbrella examining cognitive vulnerability to depression and the role of positive psychology for predicting psychopathology and resilience in large samples of youth from local elementary and high schools as well as mental health agencies.
2. Positive Psychology in Schools: This project examines the shift to a positive psychology approach to addressing youth educational and emotional well being in the elementary, secondary, post-secondary and alternative school settings.
3. Mental Health on Campus: Dr Lumley and her students have a series of projects that examine the experience of students attending University with mental health challenges. In particular they are aimed at best understanding how resilience and recovery may best be supported during this important developmental period. Dr Lumley has developed and researched a for-credit wellbeing course (PSYC*1400) for students registered for their mental health challenge.
4. Emotion SAVY : is an innovative intervention APP funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation. This is a collaborative project with colleague Dr. Gloria Gonzales-Morales and graduate students Katie Cherry and Ekaterina Prebotska. At the core of the application are strengths-based approaches to emotional awareness and positive functioning targeting youth aged 12-20 years.
