The CTF Evaluation Project involves efforts to demonstrate the impact, outreach, and effectiveness of CTF-funded programs categorized across nine program types:

•  home visiting
•  parent education/support
•  fatherhood
•  healthy marriage
•  respite care
•  community awareness
•  school-based
•  non-school-based/after-school
•  mentoring

 The primary goal is to assist both CTF and the programs funded in demonstrating program impact in reducing the risk for child maltreatment by documenting changes that occur in participants’ knowledge base, attitudes, and skills related to potential risk. Reports of the evaluation results are produced periodically to demonstrate the effectiveness of these programs in making a positive impact in the lives of the parents, children, and youth served.
