Cherry Sawyerr

A role is to provide mental health services which utilizes extensive community outreach to ensure quality mental health services and support.

My knowledge spans across the board in vast areas such as: Clinical Psychology, Minorites in Mental Health, Cross Cultural Psychology, Psychology of Minority Men, Curriculum Development, Assessment, Retention Rates, and the study of Andragogy in Higher Education.

My research has increasingly focused on interactions between multiple social concerns, interventions to address upstream causes of mental health challenges, and use of simulation models to represent complex systems. However, methodological challenges and inconsistent findings prevent a definitive understanding of which social determinants should be addressed first to improve mental health with various populations as well as adult learners, while exploring interventions that may be most effective within a specific population.
