Welcome

Welcome to the Regulating Emotions & Stress in Teens (REST) Lab! 

Our Mission: To help teens and families live fuller, happier, and healthier lives by learning skills to better manage big emotions and stress.

The REST lab aims to:

  • Improve our understanding of how teens and families regulate emotions in response to stress, using a multi-method approach;
  • To directly inform the development of novel interventions targeting emotion regulation (ER) processes to prevent suicidal behavior and depression;
  • And to improve or augment existing interventions for youth suicidality and depression.
