She collaborates with Transcultural Psychosocial Organization Nepal to adapt and pilot a psychological intervention for adolescents in rural Nepal. In eastern India, she works with the Indian civil society organisation, Ekjut, to validate an adolescent mental health screening tool and to support the evaluation of a participatory intervention for adolescent health in rural tribal communities.
She has also conducted research on the physical and mental health effects of parental migration for 'left-behind' children and adolescents.
