Morica Hutchison

7 Years Experience
A collaborative and detail-oriented postdoctoral fellow and HDFS PhD graduate with seven years of experience in project development, management and intervention focused on adolescents at-risk of mental health and/or substance use diagnoses, including suicidal behaviors, to increase treatment seeking behaviors. I am looking to use my research and clinical experience, rapport with community-based partnerships and communication and writing skills.
Experience

University of Rochester Medical Center

T32 Postdoctoral Research Fellow / August, 2021 — Present

NIH-supported T32 postdoctoral fellow at the Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide, Department of Psychiatry. Trained in the design and execution of community-based psychosocial clinical trial research focused on adolescent suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Specifically examined treatment seeking beliefs among adolescents and their caregivers presenting to the mobile response stabilization services to modify treatment seeking behaviors.

About
I am currently a T32 postdoctoral fellow at the Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center. My training as a research scientist with a PhD in Human Development and Family Sciences focuses on utilizing evidence-based practices to address youth’s behavioral health, including substance use and suicidal behaviors. As a family scholar and prevention scientist, I am trained in the development, testing and implementation of evidence-based interventions aimed at improving the quality of behavioral health for youth and families in community-based settings. My research has focused on the creation and implementation of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) with youth presenting with mental health and substance use disorders in recovery high schools and community-based outpatient clinical settings.
