The Institute for Child and Family Well-Being was proud to host the Translational Design: An Introduction workshop led by Luke Waldo, ICFW Director of Program Design and Community Engagement, on August 3rd from 10:00-12:00 CST.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children thrive when they have regular interactions with responsive, caring adults. Families experiencing significant stressors related to financial insecurity, housing instability, or the impact of systemic and interpersonal trauma can be overloaded with stress, interrupting those interactions. Over time, and without adequate supports, overloaded families can become vulnerable to adverse experiences, ranging from toxic levels of stress to involvement in the child welfare system, and even family separation for reasons of neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A staggering 36,000 randomized controlled trials are published each year, on average, and it typically takes about 17 years <\/strong>for findings to reach clinical practice. Our understanding of brain science and human development has advanced dramatically in the past 20 years, and many of our evidence-based interventions have not caught up, so we must design and adapt solutions to ensure that they are effective.
