Research and dissemination of the approaches to working with vulnerable children and families that are being pioneered at SCYFC are key components of our mission. As our school and family therapy program strive to deliver innovative services, our research team gathers and analyzes data about the processes and outcomes of each program's work. Continuous evaluation of our programs and input from colleagues and the community enable SCYFC to improve our services for children and families. Publishing and presenting our research findings allow us to share what we are learning with organizations interested in our methods.

Dr. Ann Minnett leads our internal team of researchers, which includes two research associates. Dr. J. Michael Coleman, dean at The University of Texas at Dallas, performs annual external evaluations of our school program.
