Christopher Georgiadis, M.S.

Biografía Personal

Chris está ampliamente interesado en investigar estrategias para mejorar la participación de la familia en las terapias basadas (EBT) para los trastornos de internalización de la infancia. Específicamente, está interesado en (1) desarrollar estrategias novedosas para equipar mejor a los proveedores en la personalización de los tratamientos a las preferencias, objetivos y prioridades únicas de las familias; (2) identificar estrategias para hacer que las terapias conductuales sean más aceptables para los padres y las familias (por ejemplo, mayor psicoeducación, herramientas en línea, etc.); y (3) investigar cómo la toma de decisiones compartida en la atención de la salud mental de los jóvenes sirve para mejorar los resultados de los jóvenes y la satisfacción con los servicios.
