EMPLOYMENT September Senior Extension Associate 1980 Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research to present College of Human Ecology, Cornell University Ithaca, New York l4853 607 254-5127 [email protected]

• Senior staff of the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. • Senior extension faculty of the College of Human Ecology, Cornell University. • Principal Investigator - Child Protective Service Training Institute (through 2000) • Co-Principal Investigator - Residential Child Care Project and the Children and Residential Experiences: Creating conditions for change funded by The Duke Endowment.

My core staff assignment extends Cornell's statutory resources and expertise to New York's, the nation's and the international community's child protective services and child welfare systems through the Residential Child Care Project (RCCP). The RCCP, initially funded by the National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect in 1980, works with on a fee-for-service or contractual basis for-profit and non-profit hospital and child caring facilities and associations, state and international governments to implement crisis prevention and management programs. The RCCP programs are designed to reduce the level of aggression and counter-aggression in facilities through its Therapeutic Crisis Intervention system. This system uses a strategy of assessment of facility’s leadership, supervision, clinical oversight, training and critical incident monitoring. The RCCP also works with state governments to prevent and investigate child maltreatment in residential facilities. These programs help ensure that children remain safe in community and institutional environments by teaching human service professionals effective child interview and intervention skills, safe crisis intervention techniques, and research-based protective services investigation strategies that apply to civil court procedures. Recently, my work has focused on the long-term development, implementation, and evaluation of the Children and Residential Experiences: Creating Conditions for Change program model for residential group care. The RCCP has published the results of its programs, research, and evaluation in the social work, psychology, and child welfare literature. Over a thirty-year period fees-for service, grant and contract awards with the Federal government, New York and other states, private foundations, and international organizations have totaled over $70 million.
