Jenna Whitehead, Ph.D., is a research associate in the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) at the University of British Columbia. She studies social and emotional development of children and adolescents, with particular interest in the role of student-teacher relationships on student well-being, prosociality, and school success.
