CAPP News
From time to time, the ACT for Youth Center of Excellence (COE) publishes a short newsletter for CAPP and CAPP-PREP providers in New York State. Here we report back to providers what we are learning from data across the statewide initiative: challenges in implementing evidence-based programs (EBP) or successful adaptations, for example. We also respond to questions we hear in the field. CAPP News is emailed to coordinators and other staff, and is also made available on this page.Implementation Challenges and Solutions (PDF: 200K)
