We conduct research that centers resilience, equity, and community mental health in three areas:

  1. Context, Culture, and Mental Health
  2. Help-Seeking Processes
  3. Perinatal Mental Health and Relational Support

Undergraduate students interested in learning with and being mentored by Dr. Nelson generally intend on applying to graduate programs in clinical, counseling, and or community psychology and have some connection to the type of research being conducted in this lab (see Areas of Research). Students are expected to commit to one year, regularly attend lab meetings, engage in lab activities, and present at a conference or co-author a manuscript with my support.
