Keynote Speaker
Chardée Galán, PhD is an Assistant professor of Clinical Psychology in the Child Clinical Area at Pennsylvania State University, specializing in risk & protective factors for youth psychopathology, racism-based traumatic stress, racial-ethnic socialization practices, and anti-racist clinical training. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh and completed her predoctoral clinical internship at Western Psychiatric Hospital. Her research focuses on reducing racial disparities in child and adolescent mental health by 1) promoting resilience at the individual-level through strengths-based approaches to mitigating the effects of racism-related stressors; and 2) dismantling structural drivers of racial inequities that persist in education and training programs, research institutions, and mental health care settings.
