POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Welcome to @psychequilibrium! My name is Kristopher Britton, and I’m a first-generation college graduate on the path to becoming a Pediatric Neuropsychologist.

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor—but as a first-gen student navigating the unique challenges that Black and Brown children encounter daily, I wasn’t sure how to get there. Initially, I thought my journey would lead me to medical school, but over time, my purpose shifted to pursuing a doctorate in clinical psychology while also exploring the multidimensionality of science and public health. I instantly fell in love with the transformative power of intervention-based work and therapies that support children’s mental health.

My research interests focus on studying the neuropsychological impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)—such as trauma, violence, poverty, and disasters—on children’s mental health, particularly, how these experiences contribute to behavioral and mental health challenges such as, anxiety, depression, and psychosis. My passion for children’s well-being has shaped my work across diverse fields, including chemistry, applied public health research, child development, global service, maternal and child health, clinical research, health equity, child welfare, and more. I take a mixed-methods approach to research, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis with technical writing and a community-oriented focus.

Throughout this journey, I want to emphasize transparency—because while the road may be long, it doesn’t have to be isolating. Let’s learn together. Welcome to the journey!

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the 17th Biennial Biomedical Science Careers Program (BSCP) Conference in Boston, MA. The conference brought together over 1,000 scientists and trailblazers in healthcare, including public health professionals, MD and PhD students, dental students, post-bacs, post-docs, and even high school students. I had the opportunity to network with individuals from diverse backgrounds, share my research interests, and connect with leading figures in healthcare. 🌐🧬
