I am interested in adolescent mental health not only as a clinical issue, but as a question of identity, language, environment, and access.
Why do students perform being “fine”?
Why do some forms of help feel shameful?
How do spaces and words change whether students approach support?
How can schools provide earlier, less intimidating entries into mental wellness?
