Lisa Flook is a member of LPI’s Deeper Learning team where she is working to translate research on children's learning and development to inform practice and policy. Flook has conducted research in educational settings for over 15 years. Her earlier focus was on the negative consequences of academic and interpersonal stress on children and adolescents, but a strong interest in prevention and intervention led her to investigate approaches to mitigate the negative effects of stress and to promote health and well-being in childhood. Previously, she studied the effects of mindfulness in school settings at UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center and at the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Flook holds an Ph.D. and M.A. in Clinical Psychology from UCLA and a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Education from UC Berkeley.
