    Child Abuse Series Part 1
    Sep 28 2023

    Welcome back to the Eyes Of The Mind Series!

    Today, we're honored to welcome Dr. Carmody. I must admit, I accidentally mispronounced her name a few times, so it's important to note that the emphasis is on the beginning. She holds the role of Associate Professor in both the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. Beyond her academic roles, Dr. Carmody has recently assumed the position of Deputy Director at the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, which is a collaborative effort between Duke University and UCLA. Prior to this, she dedicated nearly 14 years to the distinguished Center for Child and Family Health (CCFH), where she served as the Director of Early Childhood Prevention Programs.
