Teaching

Dr. Sardana seeks to answer two questions in her research, clinical practice and teaching: 1) How do we build systems of care that meet the increasing mental health treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries as well as in high income countries with low mental health resources and 2) To explore who, what, where, when and how do we collaborate and synergize in domestic and international regions to learn together and build efficient capacity in adaptation and delivery of evidence-based mental health and psychotherapy resources around the world.

Dr. Sardana teaches doctoral and medical students courses in evidence-supported interventions (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, US), research methods (Columbia University, US) and primer in global mental health research and practice (Ashoka University, India).

Dr. Renaud is currently teaching Psychology of Addiction to advanced undergraduate students at California State University’s Long Beach campus. She derives great satisfaction from mentoring students, a practice she began while serving as the Associate Program Director of the Psychology in Education Master of Arts program at Teachers College Columbia University. As a graduate student, Dr. Renaud was a teaching assistant for courses in Adult Psychopathology, Severe Mental Illness, and Positive Psychology.
