McMahon was named a fellow in the Society of Child and Family Policy and Practice (APA Division 37) in recognition of the contributions he has made to policy, research, training, and practice designed to improve the well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults living in fragile family systems, particularly family systems affected by parental addiction.
