Goeun Lee (BK’25) is a senior at Yale College from Los Angeles majoring in psychology. She hopes to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology to help people find healing, joy, peace, hope, and love in the fullness of life. Goeun is the co-director of Dwight Hall Community Mental Health Fellowship and she interns at the Connecticut Mental Health Center. She also volunteers at HAVEN Free Clinic, partakes in research at the Child Study Center Emotion Regulation Lab, works on board for Yale’s Public Health Coalition, and enjoys her time in Christian communities on campus. Her passionate interest in psychology led her to learn about how significantly a child’s upbringing in family and neighborhood environments influences their future health outcomes. Viewing mental disorders through the diathesis-stress model, she believes that there is work that can be done to alleviate their behavioral outcomes, adding protective factors that can mediate the difficult negative effects that systemic factors have. The specific population she has a heart for is the children in the orphanage and foster care system and from disadvantaged backgrounds like those with parents with a history of severe mental disorders. Through her global health study abroad experience in Geneva, Switzerland, in summer 2023, she got inspired conversing with the director of Mindlink in South Korea, who started a network of stigma-free, youth-friendly, community-based early intervention mental health centers.
