Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (C–CAP) Lab

Welcome! 

The overarching goal of the Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (C-CAP) lab is to ensure that youth with mental health needs, or who are at risk for suicide, get the right treatment, at the right time, in an accessible setting.  Specifically, our lab employs an implementation science approach to improve community capacity to identify and intervene for youth with mental health problems or at risk for suicide, including enhancing service delivery, efficiency, access, and engagement.  Led by Dr. Jennifer Blossom, the C-CAP lab includes doctoral students, undergraduate research assistants, and multiple external collaborators (learn more about us here!).  If you are interested in current research studies, interested in working with us, or want to learn more about youth mental health, we are glad you’re here! 

The C-Cap Lab is recruiting Undergraduate Research Assistants (URAs) to start in Fall 2024
