Today we will… • Define Evidence-Based Practice and its importance to the field of Child Welfare. • Determine the level of support that exists to help select the best practice available. • Understand practical applications of the web-based tool for those working with child welfare populations. It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. ~Frederick Douglass
But before we begin… A Quick poll! Have you visited the CEBC Website before? • Yes • No • The CEB-What??? • Not yet
CEBC Project Began in 2004 • CDSS-Office of Child Abuse Prevention • Child and Adolescent Services Research Center (CASRC) • Guidance from our Advisory Committee and Scientific Panel • The CEBC was launched on 6/15/06 • 36 Topic Areas on CEBC website with 255 programs With More to be Added Soon!
Goal of The CEBC: • Provide easy access to information about child welfare related programs through a user-friendly website. Information on Practices arranged in Topic Areas • Brief and detailed summaries for each reviewed program – each user can determine the level they want. • Programs are rated on level of scientific support.
What is Evidence-Based Practice? Evidence-Based Medicine Evidence-Based Practice Evidence-Supported Practice Evidence-Informed Practice Practice-Supported Evidence Evidence-Based Education Best Practice Promising Practices “Evidence” – Something that gives sign or proof of existence or truth, or that helps someone to come to a particular conclusion

EBPs in Child Welfare • Less is known about EBPs in Child Welfare than other areas such as medicine and mental health • No one else was looking specifically at EBPs for Child Welfare services and populations • Unique population with complex needs
CEBC Process Identify topic areas Narrow down program list Work with program representative to gather information Review research on each program Review each program and rate, if applicable • Post program information
EBP Selection Is it the best fit…? What do we need to consider first?
