Current Projects

1. Parenting a child with mental illness can be highly stressful. Mindfulness meditation has been established as an important tool for mental wellness, and mindfulness-based skills training enables parents of children with specific mental illnesses to better tolerate their child’s distress. Mechanistically, electroencephalography (EEG) studies have identified associations between meditation and enhanced alpha frequency of neural firing (~12 cycles a second) as compared to an eyes-closed resting state. We hypothesize that: a) mindfulness training of parents across mental illness groups will be acceptable and improve tolerance of their child distress; and b) inducing an enhanced alpha state will facilitate mindfulness training.

2. We assembled a cohort of 7,000 British Columbians to explore unintended consequences of the COVID pandemic, and also obtained dry blood spot samples to explore presence of SARS-CoV2 in partnership with Vaccine Evaluation Centre.

3. Evaluating mindfulness in reproductive health to explore the protective effects of mindfulness training to parents and their offspring.

4. Collaborating on projects focused on chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis.
