To help child welfare professionals working with families affected by substance abuse disorders, the National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare (NCSACW) published the Screening and Assessment for Family Engagement, Retention, and Recovery (SAFERR) guidebook. The SAFERR model includes a variety of tools for screening and assessing children and families impacted by substance abuse. SAFERR aims to integrate the work of the child welfare system, alcohol and drug abuse professionals, and the courts to achieve better outcomes for families and at-risk children.
