This summer, Emily is interning with the Harvard International Negotiation Program (INP), which takes a unique approach to conflict management and post-conflict mental health. Rather than focusing on mental health treatment of individuals affected by conflict, INI focuses on the psychological dynamics that perpetuate conflict. INP draws on the wisdom of mental health to develop ideas to prevent collective violence and its recurrence, thus avoiding the high costs of war on mental health and human life. As part of her internship, Emily researches identity and conflict resolutions. She also assists Dr. Shapiro with preparations for a curriculum on negotiation and conflict management.
