From schools, to juvenile justice settings, to social services agencies, the rise of evidence-based practices has revolutionized how we serve kids. Unfortunately, adopting these programs isn’t as easy as choosing one from a list and snapping your fingers.

ITR is forming the state’s first venue to connect with and learn from others doing similar work. Convened by ITR faculty members Dr. Clay Cook and Dr. LeAnne Johnson, the Minnesota Implementation Network (MIN) will provide support and guidance to navigate the many barriers to successful implementation.

Who it’s for

Anyone who implements or manages evidence-based practices to serve children and adolescents in service settings (schools, child welfare, juvenile justice, children’s mental health) and anyone who has a research interest in implementation science.

What you’ll get 

• Better results from your evidence-based program(s)
• Guidance and support from peers and experts
• Networking, new partnerships, and research opportunities
• Chance to set priorities for research
