Our Mission



The Child Welfare Research and Training Alliance is dedicated to advancing the field of child welfare through collaborative research and comprehensive training initiatives, rooted in trauma-informed and culturally responsive principles. We strive to provide thorough and objective evaluations of child welfare programs, policies, and practices, with a focus on identifying strengths, areas for improvement, and innovative solutions. By leveraging data-driven insights and best practices, we aim to support informed decision-making and facilitate positive outcomes for children and families involved in the child welfare system.
