The Promoting Resilience in Offspring and Targeting Early Childhood Trajectories Lab
In the Promoting Resilience in Offspring and Targeting Early Childhood Trajectories (PROTECT) Lab, we study the intergenerational transmission of risk and resilience across families and generations. We employ a resilience framework and conduct research using developmental psychopathology and trauma-informed perspectives.
The branching and changing tree serves as our symbol of development, representing our research into how early childhood experiences shape lifespan pathways, from how a parent’s childhood shapes his or her parenting to how parenting shapes childhood experiences of offspring in the next generation.
