In line with the overarching theme of self-regulation and interpersonal regulation pertinent to health, first, we seek to advance local and regional school-based mental health research and education by showing alterable and significant dyadic processes for enhancing physical and psychological well-being among both pre-service and in-service teaching professionals. Such evidence has tremendous potential to be applicable to other workplaces and in different socio-cultural contexts. Second, we shall explicate the basic interpersonal processes pertinent to health and well-being in close romantic and familial relationships, namely between parents (couples) and between children and parents/family. Specifically, both children with and without special learning needs will be studied. Such information is of high importance to family counseling and intervention, not only for enhancing children’s engagement in school and class and academic performance but also children and their close social partners’ holistic health. Potential findings of the projects will contribute to evidence based, programmatic interventions and psychoeducation.
