Tiffani Elliott
Science Writer
Tiffani is a doctoral student and researcher in the Sociology department at Northeastern University – Boston.
Through her research, she advocates for a mental healthcare system that moves beyond pathologizing mental distress that is rooted in the lived experiences of social injustice and inequality. In doing so, Tiffani aims to promote a person-centered mental healthcare system that respects treatment preferences, adequately addresses social and structural determinants of mental health, and provides comprehensive and continuous care.
