Family Treatment Courts Training and Technical Assistance Program
Funded by: Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).
The expansion of Family Treatment Courts (FTCs) has created a growing need for training and technical assistance to assist State, local and Tribal jurisdictions to build the capacity to develop, enhance, and sustain FTCs. Children and Family Futures (CFF) is a leader in the FTC field providing training, technical assistance, and evaluation to FTCs across the nation for the past 20 years. Currently, CFF is working as both a hands-on and web-based technical assistance provider and program evaluator for more than 300 FTCs and engaging in FTC statewide system improvement across 5 states and the territory of Guam.
The National FTC Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program, funded by the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), is staffed by experts with specialized knowledge on improving collaborative practice and policy among the substance abuse, child welfare, Tribal and family judicial systems.
Through the FTC TTA Program, CFF offers a variety of resources, materials and learning opportunities for FTC professionals, including:
