Elizabeth Auguste (She/Her)

Graduate Student Trainee

Elizabeth Auguste (she/her) believes that we are living within complex webs of external and internal systems that contribute to the mental health experience, and that that experience deserves person-centered, empathetic, and culturally aligned support. She believes that individuals are the experts in their own experiences, and she draws from an anti-oppression lens, social disability model, and liberation health model in her work.

Elizabeth has a background in psychology and social work research, and has contributed to seven publications so far, with a focus primarily on the health of older adults, power dynamics in social work and higher education, and social identity research. She has also worked with Autistic individuals, people with chronic illness, and students with diverse backgrounds; and she is dedicated to serving people with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ identities. Elizabeth holds a B.A. in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College and is currently pursuing an MSW from Salem State University.

In her free time, Elizabeth enjoys meditating, connecting with friends, nature walks, and reading and watching science fiction.

Elizabeth is fluent in English.
