{the calm lab}

Community-based researcher+Yun Garrison+Psychologist

Thank you for visiting my research lab webpage. I am Yun Garrison. As a researcher and the director of {the calm lab}, I work with community partners and students on projects that share the voices and experiences of those resisting oppression and seeking healing, well-being, and community knowledge.

MISSION

The mission of {the calm lab} is to support the psychological and vocational well-being of communities with histories of marginalization and oppression, acknowledging the ongoing nature of these challenges and promoting community-ground knowledge and system-level transformation.

RESEARCH PARADIGM

To achieve this mission, the research process and projects of the {the calm lab} are guided by Community, Acompañamiento, Liberation, and Multicultural research paradigms:

Community

We focus on documenting and amplifying the voices of the communities that want change. 

Acompañamiento

We work with community partners and those who share their knowledge with us.   

Liberation  

We use psychology to empower people to live with joy, fullness, and self-determination. 

Multicultural  

We challenge dominant narratives that uphold oppression and block pathways to well-being.
