BIOSKETCH
Dr G Nduku Wambua is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Africa Research Health Institute in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. With a background in clinical psychology, she has dedicated the last eight years to mental health research in Kenya, her home country. Her recently completed PhD from the University of KwaZulu-Natal is a qualitative exploration on the construct of resilience in first episode psychosis. Her research work involves using mixed research methods to investigate the impact of social and environmental factors on child and adolescent mental health, specifically adversities in childhood and the role of nested environments in promoting well-being. Her work also extends to adapting and evaluating psychological interventions for the management of mental health difficulties. As a Donald J Cohen Fellow, she is enthusiastic about contributing to solutions that bridge the treatment gap, with a particular interest in the application of psychological interventions for child and adolescent mental health.
