June 2016Vol. 17, No. 4California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse Website Guides
The California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse (CEBC) for Child Welfare aims to help child welfare and related systems and agencies identify and implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) relevant to child welfare. In order to help its diverse audience use available resources most efficiently, CEBC created targeted website information guides intended to introduce the CEBC website to specific audiences and help them navigate the site to find information relevant to their potential interests. The latest guides focus on mental health agencies and family resources. The guides link users to information on the following:
- Vital background information on EBPs
- How to access programs with varying levels of supporting evidence
- How to implement EBPs in real-world settings
- How to access measurement tools with varying levels of supporting evidence
The CEBC is a project of the California Department of Social Services to promote the well-being of children and families served within the child welfare system. Access the CEBC's website guides, which also include guides for professors and students, at http://www.cebc4cw.org/home/using-the-cebc/.
