Bio:

Brian P. Daly, PhD, is a clinical child psychologist specializing in the development, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based psychosocial prevention and intervention programs for youth, and mental health promotion in schools. His work seeks to improve school-based efforts to promote social and emotional skills, mental health, and academic success. He received an undergraduate degree in psychology from Boston College in Chestnut Hill, MA. Following the completion of his doctorate in counseling psychology from Loyola University in Chicago, he completed a clinical internship in child psychology at the VA Maryland Health Care System/University of Maryland School of Medicine Psychology Internship Consortium. Subsequently, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric psychology at Temple University Health Sciences Center.

Following the fellowship, Daly was an assistant professor in the Department of Public Health at Temple University as well as the Director of Training for the APA-approved predoctoral clinical psychology internship program.

Daly is an associate professor and the Department Head in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. He teaches undergraduate and graduate psychology courses including Pediatric Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Child Psychopathology. Daly’s research has been funded by federal, foundational and corporate agencies.

His research interests include evidence-based psychosocial interventions for youth, prevention and resiliency in urban youth, school mental health promotion, clinical and health psychology, and evaluation of adolescent risk behaviors. One of his current research projects involves the delivery and evaluation of an evidence-based socioemotional learning (SEL) prevention program for first and second children in a school-based setting. The goals of this study are to promote positive teacher behavior management techniques and social competence for at-risk young children attending inner-city elementary schools located in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
