Successful systems change efforts require time, thoughtful planning, patience, and evaluation. Two success stories share lessons learned. In Indiana, the Early Childhood Comprehensive System project Sunny Start maximized resources to implement an infant mental health endorsement system. In Virginia, the Partnership for People with Disabilities participated in a multistate, multiagency team implementing a person-centered planning systems change initiative in six states called Becoming a Person-Centered Organization (BPCO). These successful efforts offer insights into how research, policy, and practice contribute to systems change.
