Raziye Salari received her Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences in Tehran, Iran. She worked as a clinical psychologist in Iran for four years before moving to Australia in 2005. She completed her PhD in Psychology at the University of Queensland in 2009. She then moved to Sweden to join a newly established research group, now known as CHAP (Child Health and Parenting), at Uppsala University. There she became an associate professor in 2019. While in Sweden, she also worked as a Triple P trainer, working with frontline practitioners in the UK and Sweden, training them to deliver parenting programmes and supporting them in their work with parents and children. She also had a two-year part-time appointment at the Division of Psychology at Karolinska Institutet.
In 2023 she moved to Germany with her family and is currently working as a research fellow at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Raziye has a strong interest in examining the effectiveness of parenting programs as early prevention, investigating mediators and moderators of intervention effects, and identifying critical elements for improving program outcomes and refining intervention strategies. In addition, her work has included developing reliable assessment tools for screening and measuring intervention effects, and exploring the use of direct-to-consumer marketing strategies to increase program visibility and participation rates, with the ultimate goal of improving mental health outcomes for children and families.
