Since 2013, Kempe has worked alongside the Colorado Department of Human Services to create and launch the Child Welfare Training System (CWTS) - the first professional development learning management system of its kind in Colorado.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE

• Developed and launched an online Mandatory Reporter Training

• Created new courses and refined existing courses to enhance learning environment for child welfare professionals

• Launched a web-based training platform as part of the training curriculum to better prepare caseworkers and supervisors

• Implemented a Practice-Simulation course where new caseworkers demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a “real-life” situation that uses actors to portray various child and family situations

• Designed and operationalized a coaching model to guide caseworkers with professional development

The Kempe Foundation provides the education, advocacy and fundraising to support The Kempe Center.

Through the work we do under our four CARE pillars – clinical care, advocacy, research and education – we are a part of a game-changing, paradigm shift in the way we think about, talk about and treat child abuse and neglect as a public health crisis.
