Our program evaluation offerings are both formative and summative, with an emphasis on utilization focused evaluation for continuous quality improvement of programs and services.

CFCWB offers symposiums with national experts in key topics, as well as local and agency-based training opportunities in evidence based practices and professional development topics for the field in general community settings. These trainings are often offered with continuing education credits for professionals from various disciplines.
