Title: Fulbright Research Scholar |
Ohad Green, PhD, MSW, is a Social Worker and a Fulbright Research Scholar in the Department of Mental Health Law and Policy at the Louis De La Parte Florida Mental Health Institute, 哔咔漫画.
Dr. Ohad Green holds a BA (cum laude), MA (cum laude) and a Ph.D. in Social-Work from Bar-Ilan University. His research areas are trauma, violence, life transition, and migration. His primary focus is families of temporary migrants - asylum seekers, refugees and migrant workers, whom he worked in the past at the 鈥淢ESILA鈥� aid organization. His MA thesis dealt with the psychological adjustment of youth after the Second Lebanon War. His PhD dissertation, which was supervised by Prof. Liat Ayalon, dealt with exposure of migrant home care workers to abuse and violence and their willingness to report victimization. The findings of his dissertation were presented at three international conferences and awarded him a special prize from the Association of Labor Relations.
On 2016 He joined forces with Prof. Amber Gum from USF to implement a newly developed behavioral intervention for migrant home care workers that live with older adults. Another project was exploring the quality of services of the county's senior connection center.
On 2017, As a postdoctoral fellow of the Haruv Institute at the University of Oxford, Ohad joined a research group led by Prof. Lucie Cluver, who is developing an international intervention program to prevent violence against children. He is now developing a local version of the program in order to implement it with families of migrant workers, refugees and asylum seekers - especially among those headed by an independent parent.
On 2018, after winning the Fulbright Scholar fellowship, he returned to USF in order to develop the CARE2 program - an online behavioral intervention which aims to reduce the sense of burden, depression and suicidal thoughts of migrant home care workers and their care recipients.
