Dr Michelle Kehoe

BSocSc, PostGradDipPsych, PhD

Michelle has a keen interest in mental health, in particular youth mental health and evidence-based interventions.  Michelle’s thesis examined the use of restorative practices in primary and secondary schools.  Michelle sought to examine the impact of restorative practices when used as a social-emotional learning tool in a pro-social manner.  Michelle is particularly interested in qualitative research methods and hopes to use her skills to conduct further research around preventative programs which assist young people.
