Aoife Dunne, Research Assistant Psychologist
I am currently working on 3 studies; ICALM, I-DIGIT and ASPIRE. ICALM is exploring an intervention for young people experiencing low mood. I-DIGIT is investigating Lumi Nova, a game-based therapy for children, seeking to reduce anxiety symptoms, as well as exploring commissioning and implantation of digital therapeutic therapies more broadly. ASPIRE is exploring an intervention for children who have undergone adverse childhood events.
All of the studies are at different stages which I think has really supported my development as a researcher and has meant that I am constantly learning and applying new skills. The team is made up of so many talented individuals from varying backgrounds with such a broad range of experience and expertise. This is a wonderful team to work with and the opportunities for development are endless.
I am passionate about improving access to and provision of services and knowing that the research that I am involved with has the potential to make an impact is incredibly rewarding.
