Applied Research with Dr Tom Cerni
Dr Tom Cerni applies cutting-edge research in healthcare and psychological well-being to improve school communities’ social and emotional health. His work focuses on creating data-driven approaches that benefit students and staff, transforming schools into healthier, more supportive environments.
MEASURING STUDENT HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING
A core component of Dr Cerni’s research is measuring students’ happiness and psychological well-being. Using valid and reliable methods, he provides schools with a clear understanding of how their students are doing emotionally, socially, and academically. This information is vital for tailoring support services to meet students’ evolving needs.
BUILDING OPERATIONAL MODELS FOR ALLIED HEALTH INTEGRATION
Dr Cerni constructs operational models that integrate allied health services into schools. These models aim to bring together mental health professionals, counsellors, and other allied health providers within the school system, making health care an accessible and natural part of a student’s day. This approach ensures that support is available precisely when students need it, protects academic time and fosters a proactive approach to well-being.
ASSESSING STAFF WELL-BEING FOR A HOLISTIC SCHOOL APPROACH
The well-being of staff is equally critical to a school’s success. Tom’s applied research includes measuring the happiness and psychological well-being of school staff and acknowledging the profound impact that a healthy, engaged workforce has on student outcomes. By assessing students and staff, Tom’s work promotes a holistic, community-focused model of well-being.
