The Center on Children, Families and the Law (CCFL) provides competency-based case management training to child protection and safety workers and juvenile services officers employed by the Nebraska Health and Human Services System (NE HHSS). CCFL also provides a diverse array of technical assistance and consultation activities to human service agencies with the goal of achieving positive outcomes for children and families.
