Professor Nelson Yeung is an associate professor at the JC School of Public Health and Primary Care, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received his PhD in Social and Health Psychology at the University of Houston as a trained health psychologist in 2015. Through a stress and coping perspective, Professor Yeung is particularly interested in understanding of the facilitating factors and potential mechanisms associated with adjustment outcomes (e.g., post-traumatic stress, post-traumatic growth) among a spectrum of trauma-exposed populations (e.g., cancer survivors and their caregivers, healthcare workers exposed to patients' traumas, bereaved individuals, young people exposed to adverse childhood experiences, etc.) and human service professionals' perceptions and implementation of trauma-informed care. His projects have been supported by extramural funding as a principal investigator (e.g., Health and Medical Research Fund by the Health Bureau, General Research Fund and Early Career Scheme by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong).
