IU School of Social WorkPartnerships

Indiana Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership

The Indiana University School of Social Work works in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Child Services to better protect children at risk of abuse and neglect. A key to this collaboration is the creation of the Child Welfare Education and Training Partnership. The Partnership is designed to provide high quality social work education and statewide training for public child welfare employees.

Center for Social Health & Well-being

The Center for Social Health and Well-being is to support and conduct research, evaluation and training programs, in consort with external partners, that can address human and social needs faced by individuals, organizations, communities, and societies.

National Child Welfare Workforce Initiative

Our aim is to help you to understand the Indiana Trauma-Informed Child Welfare Fellowship Program and programs associated with it. We are excited about the practice of child welfare in Indiana.

Institute for Juvenile Court and Corrections Research

Rather than relying solely on textbooks or lectures, faculty, students and researchers will be able to use IJCCR's video library for a unique firsthand experience that is second only to onsite training.

SAGES

Sages is our way of paying tribute to the love and passion social workers have for giving hope to those in despair and helping others find the courage and resolve to make changes they are seeking
