What We Do
Children and Family Futures’ research and evaluation team provides evaluation support to the agencies we serve. With more than 20 years of experience, our approach reflects the social, cultural, and policy environments of communities in which we work. We prioritize working with organizations that serve vulnerable populations including family treatment courts, veterans treatment courts, substance use and mental health disorder treatment systems, and child welfare agencies. Our highly skilled team has expertise in conducting evaluation activities for cross-systems collaborative partnerships and developing capacity at the federal, tribal, state, and local levels.
About Our Services
Our research and evaluation goal is to measure program effectiveness in improving the safety, permanency, well-being, and recovery outcomes for children, youth, adults, and families affected by trauma, substance use, and mental disorders who are involved in child welfare and court systems.
For over 20 years, we have earned a national reputation for our independent program evaluations and use of customized applied research methodologies. We have a track record of delivering useful, high-quality program evaluation and applied research findings.
We provide research and evaluation support to state, tribal, and local efforts to address the needs of children and families, particularly those at the intersection of substance use, mental health, and child welfare services.
