Treatment Foster Care (TFC) is a foster family-based intervention targeted at children/youth in care that, due to their behavior or circumstances, are at high risk for placement instability or entry to more restrictive forms of out-of-home care. Results indicate that this intervention may improve children's lives across a range of outcome indicators.

Dr. Leonard E. Gibbs (1943 to 2008), Professor Emeritus of Social Work at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, was an internationally recognized expert in the field of evidence-based practice (EBP) and was a fervent proponent of EBP in the helping professions. He epitomized this approach even as he fought his own battle with advanced metastatic prostate cancer.
As part of his legacy, Len's widow, Betsy McDougall-Gibbs, has established the Leonard E. Gibbs Award for Outstanding Contribution to Evidence-Based Practice, through the Campbell Collaboration. Each year, the Leonard E. Gibbs Fund will honor the winning review team with one fully paid registration to the Campbell Collaboration Colloquium, where they will be recognized for their groundbreaking work.
