Mission
We bring evidence to improve child welfare policy and practice to strengthen Washington’s vulnerable children and families.

Vision
We envision children living safely at home, supported by families who have the resources and access to the services they need.

At a Glance

• Founded in 2007 for the purpose of making positive changes in the child welfare system.
• We work collaboratively with the University of Washington School of Social Work, the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), and private philanthropy.
• Our focus is on children who are involved in the child welfare system or at risk of being involved.
• We provide unbiased research, experience and practical action-oriented strategies for improving outcomes for children and families.
• Our view of child welfare is on the system as a whole rather than its component parts: the courts, private sector, legislature, and academia.
