Improving Care
Ensuring we are doing the best for children and families – enjoy this special offer just for Think Global, Do Justice podcast listeners!
You love the children you care for and want to see them thrive.
At the same time, you tirelessly pour yourself into your work, trying to meet too many needs with too few resources. The results you hoped for don’t always match up with the results you’re getting. You are exhausted, overwhelmed, and wearing multiple hats in order to get it all done. You want to improve the care your program offers, but you have no idea where to start.
You are not alone.
A special offer just for Think Global, Do Justice podcast listeners
Better care starts with a clearer picture of where you are—and where to grow.
If your work involves caring for vulnerable children and families—whether you lead a small team or a full organization—this tool is for you.
The Core Elements Self-Assessment from the CAFO Research Center walks you through 21 key areas that shape quality care. It’s available in English and Spanish, and when you finish, you’ll get a custom report showing where your organization is strong and where you can grow.
From there, you can go deeper with self-paced, online courses—also in English and Spanish—on topics like Family Strengthening, Case Management, and Child and Family Participation.
And for a limited time, Think Global, Do Justice listeners get 25% off any Core Elements Course (in English or Spanish) with the code TGDJ25.
