The year 2020 has presented both challenges and opportunities to the field. In the wake of a pandemic, we are newly aware of how interconnected we are across the globe and the importance of learning from and with each other. In this issue of Residential Treatment for Children and Youth, we hear from researchers and practitioners implementing and evaluating novel interventions in residential programs. Several innovative models are considered in this issue. First, Van Gink and colleagues from the Netherlands present nonviolent resistance (NVR) as an approach for managing youth aggression. Their preliminary findings are promising for reducing seclusion and restraint incidents. Then, Jolivette and colleagues introduce a fidelity tool for FacilityWide implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (FW-PBIS) and their process for tool development that included broad stakeholder input. Next, the outcomes and cost effectiveness of MultifunC in Sweden are presented by Lofholm and colleagues. Even after two years, participants who received MultifunC had lower rates of needing secure residential care compared to similar youth, which allowed for significant cost savings. Finally, Crenshaw and Cannelli introduce the idea of “Stealth Therapy” as an approach for flexibly engaging clinically with youth in the residential milieu. Given the traumas youth in residential programs have experienced and the known importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance, stealth therapy offers an approach that considers these realities. As we rise to face the challenges of this time, perhaps these interventions and other ideas currently being developed and researched will elevate the quality of care for youth in residential programs and promote positive outcomes for youth and their families.

2020年既给该领域带来了挑战，也带来了机遇。在大流行之后，我们新意识到了我们在全球范围内的相互联系以及相互学习的重要性。在本期《儿童和青少年住宅治疗》中，我们听到了研究人员和从业人员在住宅项目中实施和评估新颖干预措施的信息。本期考虑了几种创新模型。首先，来自荷兰的Van Gink及其同事提出了非暴力抵抗（NVR），作为管理青年侵略的一种方法。他们的初步发现有望减少隔离和约束事件。然后，Jolivette及其同事介绍了一种用于FacilityWide实施积极行为干预和支持（FW-PBIS）的保真工具，以及他们的工具开发过程，其中包括利益相关者的广泛反馈。接下来，Lofholm及其同事介绍了MultifunC在瑞典的成果和成本效益。即使在两年之后，与类似的年轻人相比，接受MultifunC的参与者获得安全居所护理的比率也较低，这可以节省大量成本。最后，Crenshaw和Cannelli介绍了“隐身疗法”的概念，将其作为一种灵活地与青年人在居住环境中进行临床互动的方法。鉴于青年人在住宿项目中所经历的创伤以及建立强大的治疗联盟的众所周知的重要性，隐身疗法提供了一种考虑这些现实的方法。随着我们面对这一时代的挑战，也许目前正在开发和研究的这些干预措施和其他想法将提高居住项目中对青年的护理质量，并为青年及其家庭带来积极的成果。
