In today’s installment of Vitality on Earth, we are joined by Dr. Danielle Law of Wilfrid Laurier University. Danielle is an Associate Professor in Psychology and Youth and Children’s Studies at the university. Danielle is also the Director of the Child and Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) Lab. Her research focuses on the social-emotional development of children and their mental well-being. Danielle’s primary area of research focuses on online aggression, associated mental health concerns, responsible internet use, and creating care communities. She strives to connect academia with the community with her research, teaching, and learning philosophies.
Danielle Law is a leader within her community in her own rights when it comes to providing teenagers and young adults alike with the opportunity to discover their potentials when it comes to not only excelling in the school curriculum, but the curriculum of life itself. It was a huge privilege in having her on the show, where we discussed issues regarding mental health within the university setting, coping with expectations, and what’s next when it comes to adapting to the new reality of learning through social distancing.
