Abstract:
In 1995, the Indiana Association of Residential Child Care Agencies (IARCCA), an association of children and family services, responded to a request to demonstrate effectiveness of residential care. The organization developed a vision for evaluating outcomes that incorporated collaboration with others, use of data and projection toward the future.

This article shares lessons learned from this 15-year process, including developing benchmarks to establish best practices for serving youth.
