Your goal is to help children, youth and families. Our goal is to help you.
Our mission is to support organizations committed to the welfare of children, youth and families and help them achieve better systemic outcomes.
We are one of ten national resource centers (NRCs) funded by the Children’s Bureau (CB), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide free, on-site training and technical assistance (T/TA) to State and Tribal child welfare agencies.
Through training, technical assistance, research and evaluation we help agencies improve management and operations, expand organizational capacity and promote service integration. We focus T/TA in six primary areas, including:
