Research, Evaluation and Outcomes: Why They Matter

Research Partnerships

Buffalo Center for Social Research Hillside is collaborating with BCSR to establish and implement a strategically focused research program that builds on the strengths of both organizations.

University of Rochester Hillside has partnered with UR’s Community Consultation Program/Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Pediatrics to advance our expertise in Applied Behavior Analysis and its application to children and youth who display challenging behavior and/or have autism spectrum disorders.

The services provided by Hillside Family of Agencies are a partnership with the youth, adults and families we serve. Our programs are delivered with dedication, intention and skill—but the ultimate measure of our work lies in our ability to improve people’s lives.

That’s why our programs incorporate data-driven methods that allow us to continuously review our performance and to measure true and meaningful impact. And it’s why we translate that data into effective practice solutions that create the best possible outcomes with the highest value.

The results explored in this report are key indicators of long-term success for the youth we serve.We know that a nurturing family environment, strong community connections and academic stability are the best ways of ensuring a pathway to healthy, productive lives.

With our talented teams aligned in this mission and strategy—and through our partnerships with youth, families and communities—Hillside Family of Agencies remains at the forefront of human services innovation, leading the way in delivering solutions that make a difference.

Avoiding detentions, incarcerations and psychiatric hospitalizations help provide pathways to successful development and well-being.

A permanent living situation refers to a youth living in an adoptive home, with a parent or guardian, or with another family member. Permanency, connectivity and academic success are key indicators of long-term health and well-being.

Future of YouthHillside programs foster pathways for youth to safer, healthier lives in their families and communities—with exceptional results compared to national reported outcomes.

Hillside’s Specialized Care programs provide trauma-informed residential treatment for youth with sexually harmful behaviors. Critical outcomes include avoiding sexual recidivism or any recidivist (illegal) activity.
