Our History

Part of the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Social Work, our Program was established in 1992. In our nearly 30 years of experience supporting social workers, one of our primary partners has been the North Carolina Division of Social Services (NCDSS). In this long-running partnership, we have helped NCDSS develop and deliver dozens of child welfare in-service training courses and educational publications, plan and implement conferences and summits, and carry out significant system reform and practice improvement efforts.

We also partner with family-serving agencies and community-based organizations, such as LMEs/MCOs, schools, local governments, healthcare providers, and nonprofits.

Our Partners

In our commitment to excellence, we join with our colleagues across organizational boundaries to meet common goals.
