Dr. Hennessy’s research bridges developmental science, social network theory, and implementation research to understand and strengthen the social foundations of recovery among youth. Her research examines recovery not as an individual journey, but as a fundamentally social process shaped by peers, families, and communities. Drawing on mixed-methods, observational, and community-based approaches, this presentation will discuss how insights from this work inform the design of adolescent-recovery-oriented systems of care and new network-based interventions that translate social influence into measurable recovery outcomes. The goal is to advance an empirically grounded, socially informed science of recovery that improves treatment outcomes and equity for young people affected by substance use.
