Program evaluation is integrated into every aspect of the Child
HELP Partnership to ensure that the quality of our services is
constantly improving. It also provides knowledge about "best
practices" that is disseminated to local and national
audiences.
The Child HELP
Partnership is constantly conducting innovative research, striving
to push the science of psychology. Unlike most service
agencies, we evaluate every aspect of care, from the initial phone
contact with families to treatment outcome. Research informs
clinical practice and real world experiences inform our research
questions. As a result, all of our services are supported by
state-of-the-art science.
In pursuance of the
aforementioned goals, the Child HELP Partnership aims to extend
treatment outcome methodology to the community level, evaluating
models of community entry. Dr. Brown also plans to examine
the biological and behavioral impact of successful therapies with
innovative assessment techniques.
Dr. Brown and her team collaborate
with national and international experts in the trauma field, some
of whom sit on our Board of Advisors. To date, Dr. Brown has
published over 100 presentations at scientific and clinical
conferences and 40 articles and chapters.
Dr. Brown also
mentors undergraduate students, Master’s candidates, doctoral
candidates, and post-doctoral fellows, with the goal of developing
trauma scientist-practitioners. Collaborating with junior
colleagues and experts keeps the Child HELP Partnership on the
cutting edge of clinically meaningful research.
