Dorine's commitment to addressing systemic issues is evident in her collaboration with the CEO of CHI on a research project focused on affordable housing on Long Island, aiming to better assist those experiencing temporary housing challenges.
Dorine's dedication to continuous learning and professional growth is exemplified by her study with a New York Legislator, which broadened her understanding of mental health issues at a macro level. She has also been actively involved in professional organizations, having served as the Chairperson of NASW, LISSN (Long Island Suffolk Support Network) and as a member of the NASW Veterans Committee.
