Ulla-Karin Schön Professor

Min undervisning fokuserar huvudsakligen på psykisk ohälsa och återhämtning, funktionsnedsättningar, delaktighet samt psykosociala perspektiv på psykisk hälsa och livsloppet.

Jag är nvolverad i forskningsprojekt som undersöker hur unga personer som står långt ifrån arbete och studier kan stödjas i stegvisa förflyttningar mot arbete, ökad delaktighet och en stärkt känsla av sammanhang.

Därutöver är jag medforskare i forskarprogrammet UserInvolve .
