Dr. Wade is a clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto. Dr. Wade completed his clinical residency at the University of Washington School of Medicine (Seattle Children's Hospital) and a Banting Fellowship at Harvard Medical School (Boston Children's Hospital) before assuming his current role at U of T. Dr. Wade is Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator on several projects focused on the effects of early-life adversity on mental health, cognition, and neurobiological development. He studies the complex biopsychosocial mechanisms by which early-life adversity increases the risk of mental health difficulties in children and youth, and the factors that foster recovery and facilitate resilience to adversity. The overarching goal of Dr. Wade's program of research is to improve evidence-based practice and to inform public policy centered on supporting vulnerable children and their families.
