Catherine Haslam is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Queensland and a clinical academic whose work focuses on the social and cognitive impacts of identity-changing life transitions and interventions to manage these. Her research on social connectedness, health and well-being has contributed to a body of work on the social cure published in two volumes - Social Cure: Identity, Health and Well-being (2012) and The New Psychology of Health: Unlocking the social cure (2018). This work has informed the Groups 4 Health program, a manualised social identity intervention supporting people to manage their social connectedness to support health.

Cruwys has held three research fellowships from the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council. S.
