Short presentation

Mental health promotion is a strong and pervasive theme in my research, which also deals with mental health among children and young people, social inequality in mental health and interventions. My work is characterized by collaboration with practitioners and researchers across different sectors and disciplines, and I am passionate about having research-based knowledge translated into concrete initiatives that can make a difference and promote mental health.

I am designated Reseach Lead for the ABCs of mental health in Denmark. You can read more about the ABCs here: ABC for mental sundhed – Institut for Psykologi - Københavns Universitet

I am also project manager for the ABC's of mental health and a well-being initiative for students at SAMF, KU. I am employed as a postdoc at the Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen and at the National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark.
