Maryse Richards is a professor of clinical and developmental psychology at Loyola University Chicago. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1984, and since then she has worked on a variety of research projects examining both the predictors and effects of exposure to violence on urban African American youth. Broadly, her research interests involve identifying the risk and protective factors that promote or deflect the effects of urban poverty and exposure to community violence on youth. As a result of these interests she has developed two interventions titled Civic Engagement Curriculum (CEC) and Cross Age Peer Mentoring, both of which have shown promising effects with regards to improving youth outcomes. The Mentoring program is currently supported by an OJJDP grant. She has been PI on two NIH funded RO1 grants, and has collaborated as Co-PI on several others. She currently resides on the north side of Chicago with her husband and two adopted daughters. Maryse enjoys participating in dance classes, painting in water color, and spending time with her family.
