Evolution of the Evidence-Based Movement - The Series

Sobem Nwoko - President of Joyfields Institute and EBP Society Founder - shares his journey in Part 1 of our Evolution of the Evidence-Based Movement, from technology training to championing evidence-based practices in human, social, and justice services. What began with an eye-opening look at prisoner rehabilitation has grown into a global mission to equip professionals with proven tools, training, and credentials that truly move the needle for communities. His vision for the future? A field where practitioners lean confidently on a handful of core, research-backed approaches, supported by resources and networks that make effective practice both accessible and actionable.
