HEAM LAB
HEAM, which stands for Help and Empowerment for children and Adolescents' Mental health, encapsulates the very essence of its name.
'HEAM' in Korean is written as '힘,' conveying the meanings of power, potential, and strength.
This profound meaning serves as the cornerstone of Dr. Choe's research aspirations, as well as the foundational objectives of the HEAM lab: to empower children and adolescents through rigorous research.
Within this space, we provide a nurturing platform where our collective efforts yield a profound and enduring impact on the mental well-being of children and adolescents.
