LaQuadria is leading a quality improvement initiative focused on reducing stress and improving psychosocial well-being among vulnerable and marginalized populations. Grounded in trauma-informed care and the Mental Health Continuum Model, her project integrates guided journaling and meditation as non-pharmacologic strategies to support emotional regulation and coping. She facilitates structured group sessions—offered in both in-person and virtual formats with attention to accessibility and bilingual support—to create a safe and supportive environment for participants. In addition to evaluating changes in perceived stress, social support, and overall well-being, LaQuadria also assesses participant engagement, feasibility, and acceptability of the intervention in community-based settings. Through this work, she aims to expand access to practical, culturally responsive mental health strategies that promote resilience and long-term well-being.
