Our Mission
To strengthen family resiliency by developing and implementing mindfulness interventions that empower families and support parent and child well-being.
Healing Hearts Project
The Healing Hearts project is funded by NIH – our goal is to develop and test a mindfulness app to support divorced/separated parents.
MICROS-Early Project
The MICROS-Early Project examines how mindfulness shapes relationships among parents, grandparents, and young children in multigenerational families.
Are you a parent with a school-aged child or teen and navigating divorce or separation in the last 3 years?
University of Connecticut researchers are inviting parents to help test online programs as part of the Healing Hearts research study. Participation is remote, and eligible participants in the Healing Hearts study can earn up to $260 by completing surveys and other research tasks. For more information, you can visit the study website linked in the biography.
