     Kwaunpanomporn Thummathai is currently an assistant professor of Psychiatric Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Chiang Mai University. For the last ten years, she has served as a principal investigator or co-investigator on research projects focusing on adolescent and adult psychological problems with youth populations, particularly prevention of the mental health problems in child and adolescent population. She graduated with Master of Science in clinical psychology at Mahidol University and her thesis was on stress and coping patterns of primary caregivers of adolescent psychiatric patients. Additionally, her work on understanding risk behaviors of Thai youth (bullying, violence, and intra-familial problems) has prepared her for a planned study focusing on the implementation of a depression risk prevention program in rural communities in Thailand. She conducted dissertation study entitled “Development of participatory depression prevention model for Thai adolescents.” From this work and under her leadership, a team of community volunteers has developed multiple community resources to guide adolescents, parents and teachers on how to handle depressive episodes. This model has been tested in a feasibility study and has shown remarkable promise. She will take this work to the next level and further study how to develop a more advanced and appropriately clinical practice in order to provide collaborative care management with comprehensive integrative prevention interventions. She is interested in investigating how to effectively test the Participatory Depression Prevention Model. Recently, her research team plans to develop multimedia for preventing Thai teen depression.
