Bio/Research
Dr. LaFromboise is concerned with helping students respond effectively to acculturation pressure, cultural adjustment, discrimination, major life transitions and other stresses that are so typical--and so often neglected--in children and adolescents. As a counseling psychologist with clinical and teaching experience in a wide variety of university and American Indian/Alaska Native reservation/village settings, Dr. LaFromboise is well-equipped to guide new professionals in school and community evidence-based interventions. She is the developer of the American Indian Life Skills Development Curriculum of problem-based lessons aimed at increasing social emotional competence and reducing the risk of suicide among American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents. Proven successful with high school students, this curriculum has been extended to younger students. She is investigating cultural, social, and psychological indicators of adolescent risk behavior, school belongingness, and bicultural involvement.
