His doctoral research aims to develop novel measures and tools to help organizations reduce work value differences in Indigenous child welfare practice.

In addition to clinical services, Devin offers organizational and research consulting in program assessment, development, and management, including community needs assessments. He has also trained in section 211 views of the child court assessments for family law disputes, Gladue
