Biography

Eunice integrates her clinical training and research work in a Bio-Psycho-Social-Cultural framework. Her research in children mental health covers from basic science on genetics and neurobiology to community-based advocacy, education and intervention. Acculturative stress, a form of psychosocial stressor that experienced by most immigrants, negatively impacts children and families in our society. Eunice is the founder and director of Yale Compassionate Home, Action Together (CHATogether), a culturally- and family-oriented program using drama vignettes as educational tools to promote emotional wellness in Asian-American children, young adults, and parents.
