The Psychology Times 2019 COMMUNITY AWARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Dr. Tiffany Stewart –AND– Leaders of OCD Louisiana Kristin Fitch, PhD, Leslie Higgins, PsyD, Michele Carroll, PsyD, Melissa Dufrene, Psy.D., Suzanne Chabaud, PhD and Gail Pesses, MSW
We named both Dr. Tiffany Stewart, clinical psychologist, inventor and entrepreneur, and the board of OCD Louisiana, for their considerable accomplishments in community development.
Dr. Stewart is Associate Professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, and has been spearheading her large multisite prevention work in the health behavior change area and finding new ways to help people. Her work was acknowledged by the state legislature and she continued to bring her health goals to community in wonderful ways throughout 2019.
Also on our viewfinder are the psychologists at OCD Louisiana who are accomplishing amazing things, including organizing their "Walk for Awareness." Helping those in the Louisiana community who suffer from OCD is clearly a calling for these ladies, who deserve our kudos – Kristin Fitch, PhD, Leslie Higgins, PsyD, Michele Carroll, PsyD, Melissa Dufrene, Psy.D., Suzanne Chabaud, PhD and Gail Pesses, MSW.
