Schleider began her academic career at Swarthmore College, working with psychology professor Jane Gillham, Ph.D., as her thesis advisor. In 2011, Schleider received the Wallach Fellowship for her thesis; she continued work on it with Gillham after graduation, resulting in a publication in Current Psychiatry Reviews.[2] She graduated from Swarthmore College in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, next pursuing a Master's degree at Harvard University working with Psychology professor John Weisz, Ph.D., as her advisor. During her time as a masters student, she received the Stimson Fund Research Grant in 2012, the William H. Talley Award in 2013–2014, and the Karen Stone Fellowship in 2013–2014. With the grant and the award, she completed publications as a co-author with Weisz in the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology[3] and the Child Psychiatry and Human Development Journal.[4] In 2014, Schleider received her Masters of Arts in Psychology. In 2018, she completed her final steps of education with a Doctoral Internship in Clinical and Community Psychology on a track of Consultation, Prevention, and Program Evaluation Services at Yale University School of Medicine and finally her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Harvard University.[5]
Positions and roles
[edit]Associate Professor of Medical Social Sciences, Pediatrics, and Psychology at Northwestern University [6]
Founding Director, Lab for Scalable Mental Health.[7]
Research
[edit]Schleider's research focuses on the development, evaluation, and dissemination of brief (single-session, under 30 minutes) interventions for children and adolescents experiencing mental health difficulties.[8] The goal of developing these single-session interventions (SSIs) is to increase the availability and accessibility of effective evidence-based interventions, particularly for underserved groups (e.g. LGBTQ+ and youth of Color).[9] Schleider leads the Lab for Scalable Mental Health, where these interventions are designed and evaluated. Her research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions (whether they work) and the mechanisms of change (how and why they work). Many of Schleider's brief interventions target symptoms of anxiety and depression among adolescents (ages 11–17). She has also developed SSIs that help parents learn to support their child's mental health treatment.[10] Schleider has made many of her interventions publicly available as part of her commitment to open science practices.[where?] Over the course of her career, Schleider's team has now reached an estimated 50,000 individuals through single session interventions.[10]
