I’m working as Academy of Finland Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Nursing Science  (1.1.2019-). I have doctoral degree in health science and I'm a registered nurse.

My current main research focuses on developing and testing a new method for violence risk management in psychiatric hospital care, to increase patient engagement, self-determination and decrease violent incidents and use of coercive methods. I'm also part of European network COST Action FOSTREN focusing on coercive methods in mental health settings and how to implement coercion reduction programs in most effective ways. I'm acting as a Science Communication Manager for that network and I'm a core group member of the Action.

Additionnally, I'm interested on COVID-19 pandemic's impact on people's mental health and how they have perceived restriction during the pandemic period. I'm also involved in a project aiming to promote mental health of asylum seekers and refugees.
