She is also expanding her practice through her work with the Journalism Trauma Support Network through the Columbia University Dart School of Journalism.

 

 

Dr. Moore remains committed to serving DC youth and families exposed to the child welfare system through her partnership with DC Family and Youth Initiative, where she provides clinical trainings and clinical coaching to volunteer mentors for older teens and young adults still in the foster care system. She is also continuing and sharing her doctoral research across the country on multigenerational exposures of families to the child welfare system.
