Kate Mallula, MPH, LMSW is a Senior Project Manager with Mid-America Addiction Technology Transfer Center. She has over eight years of experience working with clients experiencing domestic violence, SUD, complex trauma, child welfare involvement, immigration, and homelessness. Mallula’s focus on improving maternal and child well-being across the life-course stems from her work as a hospital-based domestic violence program coordinator where she supported women and families recovering from the health impacts of DV/IPV. She has had numerous opportunities to use both data, and clients’ lived experiences, to design programs and deliver clinical services that are trauma-informed and culturally-responsive. This background continues to inform Mallula’s approach to program planning and evaluation in the SUD field.
