Sharing Best Practices in Mental Health Services for Children and their Families
September 11 and 12, 2006
Portland, Oregon



Our theme this year focused on implementation, fidelity-monitoring, and outcomes of evidence-based practices. As part of our Real Data in Real Time conference series, we require that all presentations either include data in the presentation or provide tools and resources that the attendee can walk away with. These presentations represent services to children and families in a variety of settings and service systems, including child welfare, juvenile justice, psychiatric residential treatment, outpatient, and treatment foster care.

Our keynote speaker is Dr. John Weisz, President and CEO, Judge Baker Children's Center and Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Weisz also serves as the Director of the Network on Youth Mental Health, funded by the MacArthur Foundation. Weisz's research focuses on promoting youth mental health through intervention programs in schools and community centers.
