Shannon Suldo, PhD, is a Professor of School Psychology and a Licensed Psychologist (PY #7704, Florida) at the University of South Florida. She graduated with a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 2004.

Dr. Suldo's research interests include positive psychology applied to youth, including
children and adolescents’ subjective well-being (e.g., positive indicators of well-being
and a dual-factor model of mental health, interventions to promote students' subjective
well-being, how adolescents' mental health is influenced by parent-child and student-teacher
relationships), the social-emotional functioning of high school students participating
in accelerated curricula such as Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate
(IB) programs, and the provision of evidence-based school mental health services in
a multi-tiered framework. She is an Associate Editor of School Mental Health, and
on the editorial boards of School Psychology Review, Journal of School Psychology,
Journal of Happiness Studies, and Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment.
Dr. Suldo’s research on youth subjective well-being is summarized in her 2016 book
“Promoting Student Happiness: Positive Psychology Interventions in Schools.” This
book is available as a print or e-book, through Guilford Press.
Dr. Suldo’s research on best practices in school mental health service delivery flowing
from a dual-factor model of mental health is reflected in her 2021 co-authored edited
book, “Fostering the Emotional Well-Being of Our Youth: A School-Based Approach.“
This book is available as a print or e-book, through Oxford University Press.
