No. PY6771<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kimberly Renk, Ph.D., joined the faculty at the University of Central Florida in Fall 2000 after completing her doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida.\u00a0 Prior to her doctoral degree, Dr. Renk earned a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and a Master\u2019s degree in Clinical Psychology at Illinois State University in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois.\u00a0 Throughout the course of her educational endeavors, Dr. Renk gained both general training experiences in Clinical Psychology as well as specialty training experiences in Clinical Child and Pediatric Psychology.\u00a0 Nonetheless, Dr. Renk\u2019s work has been most heavily influenced by specialized Infant Mental Health Fellowship training that she received while completing her Predoctoral Internship at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, Dr. Renk\u2019s research laboratory, Understanding Young Children and Families, provides a forum for investigating a variety of Infant Mental Health-related issues, for providing evidence-based and trauma-informed services to families with young children who are 6-years of age and younger (through the Young Children and Families Research Clinic [YCFRC]), and for building community partnerships meant to better serve high-risk families and their young children in Central Florida.\u00a0 With regard to research, Dr. Renk and her students currently are examining issues that will further our understanding of the parent-young child connection, especially when families are struggling with problems in living, changes in caregivers, substance use and other psychological disorders, trauma, and abuse or neglect.\u00a0 In conjunction with Dr. Renk\u2019s research, she and her students provide evidence-based and trauma-informed assessments and interventions (e.g., Circle of Security-Parenting, Child-Parent Psychotherapy) to help foster more positive adjustments for young children and their families.\u00a0 Finally, Dr. Renk has built a variety of community partnerships through her work, including connections with the Florida Association of Infant Mental Health, the Florida State University\u2019s Center for Prevention and Early Intervention Policy, Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital, Center for Drug-Free Living\/Aspire, Community Based Care, and the local judicial circuit.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Dr. Renk\u2019s research, evidence-based services, and community partnerships, please contact her directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Website:\u00a0Understanding Children and Families Lab Florida Psychologist, Lic.
