SUBJECT: Prevention Services Clearinghouse - Program Description for XXPROGRAM NAMEXX

Dear XXXX,

The Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse was established by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct an objective and transparent review of research on programs and services intended to provide enhanced support to children and families and prevent foster care placements.

The Clearinghouse systematically reviews evidence on mental health, substance abuse prevention and treatment, and in-home parent skill-based programs, as well as kinship navigator services, in accordance with statutory requirements. Trained reviewers use standards and procedures, articulated in the Clearinghouse’s Handbook of Standards and Procedures, to rate programs and services as well-supported, supported, promising, or does not currently meet criteria.

As you may be aware, PROGRAM NAME(S) was selected for review by the Clearinghouse (for additional information please visit Programs & Services Planned for Review). We plan to release the rating for this program or service soon on the Clearinghouse website. We wanted to reach out to you prior to the public release. Attached is the information about PROGRAM NAME(S) that will be included on the website. Please let us know as soon as possible if you see any major errors in the information about the program.

If you have questions, you can email us at PreventionServices@abtassoc.com.

Sincerely,

The Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse
