Abstract
The Boston Family Reunification Network provides two innovative services designed to help children return to their families as soon as possible. A team developed two new instruments to measure process and clinical outcomes of the initiatives. This article describes the instruments, the two-year development process, and the points considered during the instruments' development. Suggestions for other social welfare groups planning to create and implement outcome tools are included.
