Dr. Henrika McCoy’s current research is two-fold. She focuses on the intersection of mental health and juvenile delinquency, particularly for African American males. Dr. McCoy has served as the principal investigator for the National Institute of Justice-funded study Understanding the Violent Victimization Experiences of Young Men of Color (SURVIVE) which resulted in the development of an instrument that measures the experiences of young men and the coping skills and types of supports they use. She also served as the principal investigator for 3/40 BLUEPRINT: Creating the Blueprint to Reduce LGBTQ Youth Homelessness. The project sought to facilitate positive outcomes for LGBTQ homeless youth by conducting a systematic review of existing literature; a comprehensive needs assessment; and a systematic identification and analysis of screening and assessment tools and existing and emerging practices for Runaway and Homeless Youth providers. Dr. McCoy has a MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a MJ from Loyola University Chicago, and a PhD from the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis.
