ABOUT SAFECARE
More than 30 years of scientific research and numerous studies support SafeCare’s effectiveness at improving positive parenting skills and at reducing and preventing abuse and neglect. Our home within the Mark Chaffin Center for Healthy Development supports our commitment to understand how to improve the lives of all children, everywhere.
SafeCare® is an evidence-based parenting program for families with children 0 to 5.
Our Mission
To ensure all children have a nurturing, safe, and healthy home environment through SafeCare training, implementation support, and research.
Our Vision
Stronger families and brighter futures worldwide.
Our Approach
- Trained SafeCare Providers offer in-home, module-based skills training to caregivers.
- Eighteen sessions are typically conducted weekly and last approximately 60 minutes each.
- SafeCare is easily integrated with other programs or it can be used as a standalone program to develop and support positive parenting skills, strengthen positive caregiver- child relationships, and reduce the risk for child physical abuse and neglect.
SafeCare is benefiting ... families tremendously! Families are able to grasp the real-life practical material to help them keep their children safe. I find that parents realize that being a great parent does not come easy. Parenting is hard work and takes a variety of strategies and methods to ensure we are raising strong, safe and stable children. That's the difference that SafeCare makes.
