Attention, Behaviour, and Compassion Lab

We are a research lab at Saint Paul University with the goal of improving the well-being of children and adults with challenges with attention and behaviour through compassion-based care.

Much of our research concerns Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We strive to study the strengths and challenges of ADHD so that the right supports can be put in place to empower individuals with ADHD and their communities. We aim to understand trauma-informed self-compassion and fostering the whole and authentic self. We aim to contribute to an open and engaged society that nurtures the human spirit and believes in the value and potential of every person.

If you would like to hear about current or future studies in the lab, please contact us here.
