Dr. Jami C. Pittman is a postdoctoral fellow at the National Center for School Mental Health in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Pittman has been trained as a community-engaged child clinical psychologist whose research, clinical, and community engagement interests and expertise center on supporting system change and healthy interpersonal development in primarily Black and African American and trauma and violence-exposed youth and families.
