National SafeCare Training and Research Center
Project Description:
The National SafeCare Training and Research Center
(NSTRC) was established in 2007 with funding from the
Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. The goal of NSTRC is
the nationwide implementation of the SafeCare model, an
evidence-based home visitation and parent training program
that has been shown to reduce child maltreatment among
families. The NSTRC is engaged in research efforts to
improve the training and implementation of the SafeCare
model at the state systems level. Additionally, NSTRC is
cultivating collaboration with communities, child welfare
administrators, and policy makers to increase support and
resources for evidence-based practices and the prevention of
child abuse and neglect on a local, national, and
international scale.
