        Ana Mireya’s research is focused on the interplay between social, cultural, and family-level processes that shape mental health and education in the context of families who navigate severe adversity. Her primary, often intersecting, areas of interest include families in which parents live with chronic mental health conditions, child welfare-involved bio families, and socioeconomically marginalized families. With her research she seeks to highlight protective factors and diverse repertoires of resilience operating at multiple levels.
