As demand for mental health care rises in hospitals and private practice, waitlists for these essential services continue to grow. 

That’s why assistant professor of psychology, Alexander Daros, and his research team began investigating innovative interim solutions to support people while they wait.

What does it mean to have closure? How can closure be measured? 

It is something mentioned often in popular media, the idea of getting closure. Sitcom fans might remember the scene from Friends when Rachel leaves a message for Ross letting him know she’s over him, saying, “Now that, my friend, is what we call closure.”  

It’s a term we hear everywhere, but what it really means — and how to measure it — isn’t as clear. 

Two University of Windsor professors will further their innovative work in sexual assault resistance education thanks to a $2.5 million investment from the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Charlene Senn, a professor of psychology and women’s and gender studies, and Sara Crann, an adjunct professor of psychology, will use the funding to expand the Girls - Flip the Script with EAAA program, a sexual assault resistance initiative designed for high school-aged girls across Canada. The funding is part of a larger $14.5 million federal initiative to prevent youth dating violence.
