Expert in mental health and psychosocial support, researcher, and adolescent psychologist with 25 years of experience in youth prevention, public health policy, and social research. My career spans field research and methodological development in child protection for both national and international organizations (WHO, UNICEF, UNODC). I also have extensive administrative experience in providing resources for the activities of psychological services nationwide.
The Prevention AI platform has become the embodiment of my entire professional experience, made possible largely due to today's artificial intelligence capabilities: both for developing this platform and for creating the most advanced working tools for frontline specialists.
Prevention AI is my personal project, unaffiliated with any organizations or external funding. It will continuously evolve in dialogue with its users and the professional community. I am always open to communication, bug reports, and suggestions for the platform's development.
