  • SAFE Child Communities

    SAFE Child Communities will raise the prevention of child maltreatment to a top social, public, legislative, and community priority across the state. The multi-year effort is based on recent breakthroughs in brain science and evidence-based programs. This approach turns the focus away from family risks, deficits, and treatment, and towards building increased parental resilience, social connections, concrete support in times of need, knowledge of parenting and child development, and children’s social and emotional competence. The Initiative will establish SAFE Child Communities in Massachusetts which: • include Family Centers as hubs to provide, coordinate, and access a standard menu of core services (including home visiting), as well a geographic communities. • incorporate proven service frameworks and evidence-based services • provide resources for and support parent partnership and leadership. • deliver organizational change, program development, staff training, and data collection/analysis. • In-depth evaluation to identify increased strength and resilience of parents, increased positive outcomes for children, decreased risky behavior by parents, and decreased frequency of child maltreatment in communities served by SAFE Child Communities.
