CPS Professors Lead Freedom Project

CPS Professors Lenore Walker and Vincent Van Hasselt, with Dr. James Pann from Fischler School of Education and Human Services will lead the program evaluation team for the Freedom Project. This project stems from their Applied Community Research Grant (Quality of Life Council) funded by the Broward Sheriff’s Office on “Best Practices Model for Intervention with the Mentally Ill in the Broward County Criminal Justice System.” The annual budget for NSU will be $30,219.00. CPS Alumnus Kimberly Durham, Psy.D., Chair of the Quality of Life Council and NSU/BSO Advisory Council has been instrumental in fostering collaborative projects with law enforcement.
