Supporting and scaling social programs (that work): Jeffrey Bradach at TEDxNewEngland

Be it Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, our next president faces a fiscal crisis in government spending for social programs. That evidence-based programs can potentially improve social service outcomes amid a fiscal crisis represents a seismic shift in how you and our government should think about the money we spend.

"About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
