About the Clearinghouse
The North Carolina Clearinghouse on Family and Child Well-being website was established in
2008 at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill School of Social Work with funding from the
North Carolina Governor’s Crime Commission. Planning for the website began in 2006 with an initial
grant from the North Carolina Governor’s Crime Commission. The Clearinghouse is housed within the
Family and Children’s Resource Program of the Jordan Institute for Families.
The Clearinghouse is dedicated to providing a central source of information about learning
opportunities and training resources throughout North Carolina for those working to
strengthen families and to prevent and respond to child maltreatment and family violence.
This website carries forth the vision of the Child Abuse and Neglect Subcommittee of the Governor’s Crime
Commission’s Juvenile Justice Planning Committee which identified the need for North Carolina to have one central
place to disseminate training information and to facilitate collaboration among professions in training
efforts. The Clearinghouse staff collaborates with an advisory committee in on-going development
of the website.
