Introduction to Susana Mariscal & Her Work

Abstract

In this video, Dr. Susana Mariscal describes her translational research. Indiana is part of the nationwide shift toward prevention through community collaborations using a strengths-based approach, integrating various efforts, tailoring responses to needs, using digital campaigns, aligning funding, and gaining champions’ support. The Strengthening Indiana Families project, funded by the Children’s Bureau, has strengthened cross-system collaborations at the state and local levels in Indiana and has garnered buy-in from leaders and policymakers, leading to funding alignment and increased financial support.
