Hello, I am Dr. Kaprea Johnson, and I am a tenured associate professor of Counselor Education at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA USA. Within this area I focus on how interprofessional education and collaboration between graduate level mental health and allied health care students can improve patient outcomes. I am currently the Director of the Equity Research Lab, in which collaborative projects focus on equity issues in screening children and transitional aged youth for social inequities (i.e., discrimination, food and housing insecurity, income inequality), school/mental health counselor training needs to address social inequities, and interrogating systems that perpetuate inequities (i.e., education and healthcare systems).
These innovative lines of research have helped our team of interprofessional collaborators in garnering over $5 million in grants. In addition, I have conducted over 100 presentations/ or trainings, have two books, several non-refereed practitioner focus publications, and 53 peer reviewed publications in national and international journals in counseling, education, and allied health. Additionally, I have a consulting and coaching practice that supports organizations and professionals interested in solutions for justice, diversity, healing, and equity.
