A Holistic Approach
to Youth Mental Health
The Korczak Lab is dedicated to research on child and adolescent mental health. Directed by Dr. Daphne J. Korczak, a Canadian leader in child and adolescent psychiatry, our lab covers a wide range of topics including child and adolescent depression, suicide intervention for youth presenting to the emergency department, the impact of COVID-19 on mental health, and the relationship between mood and cardiovascular risk. Our research lab aims to contribute more broadly to SickKids's initiative to enhance child and youth mental health research through collaborations, innovations and partnerships.
