MICROS-Early Project

The MICROS-Early Project examines how mindfulness shapes relationships among parents, grandparents, and young children in multigenerational families.

Behind the scenes! One of our amazing students teamed up with UConn-trained director Christopher Orrico (orricoproduction.com)to record narration for our upcoming Healing Hearts study video. So exciting to see our work come to life through collaboration and student involvement every step of the way. We can’t wait to share the final video soon! #uconnstamford #framelab #divorce #parenting #research
