ABSTRACT: The Woodbourne Center is one of the oldest child welfare organizations in the country. Currently, this agency provides a variety of services including treatment foster care, residential treatment for adolescents and juvenile sex offenders, diagnostic and assessment services, and short-term respite care for youth in crises. Evaluation efforts will focus on several projects, including an assessment of the population served in these programs, trends in youth needs over time, and the research evidence for the program’s treatment model that integrates restorative practices, trauma-focused services, and aggression replacement training. Exploratory work for future research will also be conducted.
