Ali Giusto is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Children and Families, Florida International University, specializing in culturally responsive mental health interventions for underserved global populations through community-engaged and implementation science approaches.
Her educational credentials include:
- B.A. in Psychology from Yale University
- M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Duke University
- Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Duke University
- Predoctoral Internship at Columbia University Medical Center (Child-track)
- NIMH Postdoctoral Fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center (Implementation Science & Global Mental Health)
Her research integrates community-driven methodologies to address youth mental health through four key pillars: (1) father mental health and family engagement interventions for peer-provider delivery; (2) effectiveness of lay/peer-delivered youth treatments; (3) co-designed community mental health programs; and (4) pragmatic implementation frameworks. Work spans U.S. and Kenyan contexts with emphasis on scalable, real-world solutions for marginalized communities.
Dr. Giusto's community-engaged implementation science model prioritizes pragmatic clinical tools developed through participatory methods, focusing on peer-provider capacity building and culturally adapted interventions for youth/family mental health in resource-limited settings worldwide.
