ABOUT NRCFCP

Welcome to the National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice! We are a project of the University of Iowa School of Social Work, with a mission of promoting family-centered, culturally responsive practice across human service systems through research and evaluation, training and technical assistance, and information dissemination.

The National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice has had a home at The University of Iowa for more than thirty years. Beginning as a small training project funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Center was one of the first organizations in the country to promote home-based, family centered services, later known as "family preservation." Over the years we have expanded in scope to work in many different service systems and to provide a range of services including training and technical assistance, research and evaluation, and information dissemination. We have worked in all fifty states, several U.S. Protectorates, and through collaborations in Europe, Asia, North, Central and South America, and Australia.

In April 2008 the NRC celebrated its 30th Anniversary by holding a conference at The University of Iowa.

We work with federal, state, and local government, private nonprofit and for-profit organizations in these program areas:

  • child welfare
  • juvenile justice
  • pregnancy prevention and intervention
  • community action & anti-poverty programs
  • culturally competent services
  • organizational and community development
