The Holistic Families Lab (HFL) has several key objectives. First, it seeks to harness innovative ethnographical and integrative medicine tools to examine and address cumulative intersectional stressors, including intergenerational trauma, racial trauma, gender discrimination, caregiver burden, acculturation stress, and minority stress. This involves evaluating stress responses within marginalized families, women, and children. Second, HFL aims to offer solutions for enhancing the well-being of these groups through scientific research, educational and training initiatives, community services, and advocacy efforts both in the United States and on a global scale. Additionally, the lab focuses on the development of culturally tailored and cost-effective mind-body interventions designed to enhance the overall health of racialized populations. Currently, HFL is actively engaged in several research projects, including the Haitian Well-Being Study, Nurturing Moms, and Realist Women.
