Research

The need for social services has increased even from pandemic-levels. Demand for Social Workers is up over 12%, and wait lists for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) practitioners exist throughout the country. Our applied research seeks to determine how to attract and retain qualified staff to meet the growing demand for services. We're also interested in partnerships with other organizations to assess service quality.

We place qualified clinical staff with partner organizations in order to facilitate the advancement of our research while simultaneously providing quality services. Staff collect data and participate in research activities with our lead researchers. Partners get access to qualified clinical staff and early access to research findings.

We aim to increase access to quality social services throughout the USA and beyond. Results are measured through shortening of waitlists for services. We seek to accomplish this by researching barriers to  staff entering  social services fields, causes of attrition from the field, and what entities already do to help.
