Biography
Linyun Fu’s research focuses on developing, testing and scaling up culturally sensitive mental health prevention and social-emotional learning programs for children and adolescents, particularly those in under-resourced communities. Her work uses rigorous mixed-methods and experimental designs to examine how school- and community-based programs can promote child well-being, resilience and educational success, as well as to identify implementation strategies for scaling up evidence-based practices in broader contexts. She has collaborated closely with schools, community organizations and international partners for nearly seven years to advance equitable, evidence-based support for children, families and educators.
