Maria Schweer-Collins, PhD
Maria is a Research Assistant Professor at the Prevention Science Institute. With a background as a mental health clinician supporting child welfare-involved families in their home and community contexts, Maria aims to conduct policy and practice-inspired research. Broadly, her research investigates the intersection of child welfare and juvenile justice, the biological and behavioral consequences of trauma and mental health, and intervention development and adaptation for populations affected by these forms of adversity. Maria's research has been funded by the National Institute of Justice, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
