ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Dr Daniel F. Perkins
Dr Perkins is a Professor of Family and Youth Resiliency and Policy at the Pennsylvania State University. He is also principal scientist and founder of an applied research centre, the Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness at Penn State (http://www.militaryfamilies.psu.edu/).
He has been designing and evaluating strengths-based family and youth development programs in 4-H and Cooperative Extension and leading complex projects for more than 20 years.
Dr. Perkins was a co-principal investigator on The Veteran Metrics Initiative: Linking Program Components to Post-Military Well-Being study (TVMI study), which was a large-scale longitudinal study of transition veterans that recently completed data collection. On the TVMI study, he leads efforts to characterize programs veterans use as they reintegrate into civilian life and distil the programs into their common components.
Ultimately, he is examining the link between common program components and veteran wellbeing throughout the transition process.
