Around the country, the mental health of people of all ages and from all walks of life is being threatened by the ongoing pandemic.

Recognizing that additional research is needed to improve how their issues are diagnosed and managed, we established the Kevin Love Fund Centennial Chair in UCLA’s psychology department – the first of its kind – to advance more personalized treatments for people living with anxiety and depression.

World renowned for its depth of expertise in anxiety and depression, as well as groundbreaking research of the adolescent brain, health psychology, neuroscience of behavioral health, and human relationships and social networks, UCLA’s findings will be rigorously analyzed by a team of field experts comprised of clinical psychologists, school counselors, at-risk specialists, licensed professional counselors, social workers, administrators, and educators.
