In this episode I speak with Dr. Kelly Moore, PhD, LICSW. Kelly has dedicated over 35 years to adolescent and family mental health. Serving as the Director of Counseling and Learning Support at an independent school in the Seattle area, she spearheaded the creation of social-emotional curricula for grades 5-12, established a robust parent education program, and developed a well-being curriculum for faculty and staff. Driven by a steadfast mission to combat the alarming rise of depression, anxiety, and suicide among youth she witnessed throughout her career, she founded Accompanied for Caregivers. Accompanied for Caregivers is a science-based social-emotional curriculum for parents and guardians. Dr. Moore is committed to her work with parents -- seeing firsthand that boosting the well-being of parents and caretakers is the most effective way to stem the tide of despair plaguing our kids. Kelly is the mom of two adult children and a French bulldog named Posey (who has NEVER rolled her eyes at her). After living in Seattle for over 25 years, she now lives with her husband, Gary, in beautiful Bend, Oregon where she enjoys skiing, golfing, hiking and working really hard at growing vegetables in the rugged climate of central Oregon.
