He is currently supported by an NIMH-funded Career Development Award focused on increasing the knowledge base on the relationship between coping and community functioning among people diagnosed with severe mental illness. He has been involved in research on recovery and been striving to provide recovery-oriented clinical services with people diagnosed with severe mental illness since 1995. A major area of interest is the way in which individual (e.g., coping) and systemic (e.q., housing and financing of services) factors impact the degree to which people with severe mental illness are able to achieve recovery, with an emphasis on how these factors can be influenced through intervention or policy change to maximize opportunities for recovery.
