Emma Morton Lab home

Welcome to the Emma Morton Laboratory.

Our goal is to optimise the health and quality of life of people living with mood disorders, with an emphasis on people who live with bipolar disorder. To this end, we seek to better understand factors which influence both symptoms and patient-valued outcomes, and use these findings to inform the development and evaluation of psychological interventions. We also research ways to strengthen and diversify avenues to psychological support, such as self-management education programs, clinician training, digital health tools, and peer support. Our work utilises a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, and we believe in the importance of community-engaged research.

The Lab is led by Dr Emma Morton.

We are part of the School of Psychological Sciences and a member of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Program. We are also affiliated with the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health.
