Nichaela Garvey (she/her) completed her Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology at York University. She is the Lab Manager of the Infant and Child Mental Health Lab. She is grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside Inuit youth and community members across Nunavut on three participatory action research projects: I-SPARX, Covid-Resilience and Virtual Qaggiq. She plans to pursue clinical psychology in graduate school. Her research interests lie in working together with Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) youth to adapt and evaluate the effective of accessible, school-based and/or community-based programs aimed at promoting positive youth development, empowerment, resilience, healthy coping and relationships in the face of adversity. She is particularly interested in exploring whether strengths-based interventions rooted in self-compassion and mindfulness promote mental wellness in BIPOC communities. She recognizes knowledge mobilization and implementation science to be integral to sustainable research and aims to help narrow the existing gap between current research and common health practices in vulnerable communities. She is committed to disseminating accessible, community-informed research findings in her graduate studies.
