EPIS is a university-based organization connecting research, policy, and real-world practice to improve outcomes for children and families across Pennsylvania.

SPEP™ Learning Lab

The Center for Translational Justice Research at Vanderbilt University, with support from EPIS at Penn State, is currently laying the groundwork to establish a recurring international SPEP™ Learning Lab (SLL).

SLL events are centered on three SPEP™ practice pillars, Partnership, Education, and Transparency, and are designed to bring SPEP™ sites and SPEPers together to connect, collaborate, and learn.

Meetings – Three times a year, held via Zoom.

The SLL meetings include:

Peer Learning (e.g., sharing successes and challenges of SPEP™ implementation and functionality)

Developer Updates (e.g., share materials and/or other SPEP™ innovations)

Master Trainer/Developer Open Forum (e.g., for questions, tips, discussions)

SPEP™ Networking (e.g., breakout group opportunities to meet other SPEPers across the country)
