Migration Health Research Area/Expertise
My research into migration has been in investigating the impact of temporary foreign migration on families left behind on the risk of self-harm and suicide. This work has been conducted in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka.
I am currently embarking on a new fellowship exploring the association between ethnicity, migration and suicide/self-harm in Europe. I am also one of the steering group members of MHADRI and the International COVID-19 Suicide Prevention Research Collaboration.
