WELCOME NSTRC strives to ensure a safe, nurturing, and healthy home environment for all children through best practices in SafeCare training, support, and research.
SafeCare is effective in supporting both intervention and prevention initiatives for reducing and preventing the maltreatment of young children.
Studies on SafeCare have shown positive outcomes in improved parenting skills, reduced parental depression, increased program engagement and completion, and increased program satisfaction among parent participants.
Please contact NSTRC for information about how we are organizing trainings during a time of social distancing.
