Conference and Discussion with Dr. Elisa Romano

About Dr. Elisa Romano

Dr. Elisa Romano is a registered clinical psychologist in Ontario and Full Professor at the University of Ottawa’s School of Psychology. The overarching goal of her research is to promote child and youth well-being, broadly defined as positive mental health and strong peer/family relationships. Given the pivotal role that families play in the lives of children and youth, her research focuses particular attention on 1) adverse experiences within the family that can compromise well-being (i.e., family violence and child maltreatment) and 2) development, implementation, and evaluation of interventions that promote child and youth well-being (in particular for maltreatment-exposed young people who are involved in the child welfare system). Dr. Romano’s work has received national funding and has been shared through peer-reviewed publications and numerous academic conferences in Canada and abroad.
