Assistant Professor Roderick Rose, PhD, and colleagues have a new paper published in the Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders that examines the impact of Intensive Alternative Family Treatment (IAFT), an intensive treatment foster care program that connects children in foster care and juvenile justice to high quality behavioral health interventions.
