In October 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime launched Child Safety Forward, a three-year demonstration initiative to develop equitable solutions that address serious injuries and fatalities from child abuse and neglect. The efforts are responsive to the 21st century child and family well-being system and public health approach described by the federal Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities in its report to the President and U.S. Congress, Within Our Reach.
Social Current serves as the national technical assistance center to five demonstration sites: St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut; Cook County Health in Illinois; Indiana Department of Health; Michigan Department of Health and Human Services; and Sacramento County’s Child Abuse Prevention Council in California.
This webinar specifically for funders will cover implementation strategies and lessons learned from the demonstration sites as we head into year three of the initiative, along with policy and practice implications that can be drawn from this work.
