Abstract
The Children’s Bureau (CB) is the first federal agency within the U.S. Government-and in fact, the world. The CB partners with federal, state, tribal and local agencies to improve the overall health and well-being of our nation’s children and families. Within an annual budge, the bureau provides support and guidance to programs that focus on:
- Strengthening families and preventing child abuse and neglect
- Protecting children when abuse or neglect has occurred
- Ensuring that every child and youth has a permanent family or family connection
The Bureau also participates in a variety of projects, including:
- Providing guidance on federal law, policy and program regulations
- Funding essential services, helping states and tribes operate every aspect of their child welfare systems
- Supporting innovation through competitive, peer-reviewed grants for research and program development
- Offering training and technical assistance to improve child welfare service delivery
- Monitoring child welfare services to help states and tribes achieve positive outcomes for children and families
- Sharing research to help child welfare professionals improve their services
