SOS Children’s Villages

SOS Children’s Villages-USA engaged McNary Group to coordinate an external peer review of their published report, A Child’s Road to Resilience: The Science Behind the Importance of Nurturing Relationships in Child and Youth Development.

Dr. Bridget Kearney led the review process, assessing the report’s scientific accuracy, clarity, and practical relevance for practitioners and policymakers. The review evaluated the strength of evidence behind neuroscience and trauma claims, the soundness of the methodology, and the usefulness of intervention recommendations for real-world implementation.
