Children’s Bureau Training and Technical Assistance Network

As a member of the Children’s Bureau Training and Technical Assistance Network, Implementation Center offer distinct, but complementary services:

  • Implementation Centers expand upon the T/TA Network by providing project based in-depth and long term consultation and peer networking opportunities to States, Tribes and Territories in their assigned geographic service areas.
  • Implementation Centers possess expertise in strategic implementation, organizational change, and systemic intervention.
  • In partnership with the National Resource Centers and other T/TA Network members, we provide a comprehensive package of TA to support systems change in improving the safety, permanency and well-being of children and youth involved in child welfare. 

National Resource Centers

  • Offer on and off site TA, including assessment, strategic planning and implementation
  • Provide tailored  technical assistance
  • Provide coordinated services
  • Build capacity in child welfare systems
