My research and clinical interests are in the effect of childhood maltreatment across the lifespan. With David Wolfe, I have contributed a dating violence prevention program for at-risk teens, called The Youth Relationships Project. With Anne-Marie Wall, I have edited a book examining violence and addiction overlap. With my co-investigators, Harriet MacMillan, Nico Trocme, Anne-Marie Wall, Mike Boyle, and Eman Leung, we have embarked on an epidemiological study of youth actively involved in child protective services. The networking within child maltreatment to the benefit of networking in the practices of child welfare is also a strong interest and current need in Canada.
