In the Spotlight

While there are currently many LFP projects that interface with the needs of vulnerable children and their families, there are currently 8 active LFP projects  that have a specific focus on providing trauma informed care for children under the age of 5 years. 

Although the project designs and settings are very different , this cluster of LFP projects share many common interests in program assessment, data collection tools, staff education and policy development.
