SFTS June 2002 News
Safe from the Start has created a tri-fold brochure that can be
distributed to law enforcement, educators, health care and social
service professionals, mental health providers and community members.
The brochure informs readers about the California Safe from the Start
efforts and provides valuable resource information and suggestions on
how to get involved in reducing the impact of violence on children. The
brochure can be obtained by faxing a request to the California Attorney
General's Crime and Violence Prevention Center at (916) 327-2384 or by
sending an email request to sfts@doj.ca.gov.
RESOURCES
Starting Early Starting Smart (SESS) is a program that seeks to help
children in high-risk settings during their formative years (from birth
to age 7). Grantees evaluate ways of working with parents or caregivers
who are at risk for behavioral health problems.
This project is operated by RAND, the nation's original "think tank",
and a leader in improving policy and decision-making through research
and analysis. The Web site presents easy to understand summaries of
evidence-based information about what improves outcomes for children and
families. The major content areas of the site are: Proven and Promising
Programs, Research in Brief and Strengthening Service Delivery. Visit
the Web site at: www.promisingpractices.net or call the RAND Promising
Practices Network at (310) 393-0411, extension 7172.
