Biography

Dr. Yau’s academic goal is to enhance community well-being through various bottom-up approaches. Her current research focuses on two main areas: (1) advancing community-based participatory research (CBPR) models to improve mental health literacy among older adults; and (2) applying co-creation methodologies to support inclusive employment for people with disabilities.
