Cha Lab

The Cha Lab focuses on youth suicide risk and prevention. Our projects investigate pragmatic and impactful intersections across psychology, medicine, technology, and culture. Our mission is to prevent suicide, alleviate internal distress, and foster the well-being of vulnerable young people from diverse communities. Through a partnership between the Yale Child Study Center and the Yale Center for Brain and Mind Health, the Cha Lab embraces a team science approach and is led by clinical psychologist and Associate Professor at Yale School of Medicine, Christine Cha, PhD.
