Dr. Iwenofu specializes in the psychological assessment and treatment of children, youth and families presenting with a wide range of difficulties (e.g., learning problems, relational issues, trauma, ADHD, behavioral problems). Her current research and teaching broadly focus on understanding the ways in which individual differences such as race, ethnicity, language, poverty, immigration and exposure to adverse events impact child and youth trajectories toward health and wellness. Dr. Iwenofu specializes in research examining the mechanisms through which anti-Black racism impacts child health outcomes. She provides clinical training and teaches graduate-level courses on anti-racist approaches to professional work with children, youth and emerging adults within educational and clinical contexts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Skyler Jackson\u00a0<\/strong>is an award-winning stigma researcher, inclusive mental health clinician, and experienced organizational consultant. Currently, Dr. Jackson is an Assistant Professor within the Social and Behavioral Sciences at Yale School of Public Health. Relying\u00a0on\u00a0a broad range of methodological approaches, Dr. Jackson&#8217;s current projects examine complex, understudied manifestations of stigma across sexual, racial, and gender minority populations, including (a) intersectional stress among individuals holding multiple marginalized\u00a0identities\u00a0(e.g., LGBTQ+ people of color, Black women), and (b) border identity stress among populations holding identities that defy binary categorization (e.g., bisexuals, multiracial people, gender nonbinary individuals). In addition to his work as a researcher, Dr. Jackson is a trained psychotherapist. With experience across a variety of clinical settings, he has developed expertise concerning how clients&#8217; experiences of stigma (e.g., anti-LGBTQ+ stigma) produce unique risks and resiliencies that should be considered during psychotherapy treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shayan Asadi<\/strong>\u00a0will moderate the event.\u00a0Shayan is a third-year\u00a0Clinical\u00a0Science\u00a0PhD candidate\u00a0at\u00a0the University of Michigan in the SPLAT Lab with Dr. Craig Rodriguez-Seijas. He\u00a0received his B.A. from York University in 2019. Shayan uses\u00a0latent variable modeling and item response methods to understand how mental\u00a0health disparities are measured in\u00a0minoritized groups. Shayan also uses\u00a0longitudinal methods to examine the psychological mechanisms that underlie mental\u00a0health disparities\u00a0across LGBTQ+ status, race, and gender\/sex. Clinically,\u00a0Shayan provides evidence-based psychotherapy to adults with mood, anxiety, and\u00a0personality disorders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Whom:\u00a0<\/strong>All professionals, students and members of the community are invited to join us!
