Abstract | Discussed are initiatives of the Administration for Children, Youth, and Families (ACYF) in the areas of Head Start, child care, the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, support of historically black colleges and universities, foster care and adoption assistance, the Runaway and Homeless Youth Program, and current and future plans. The discussion of Head Start focuses on cooperative ventures with other agencies concerning running the Child Development Associate (CDA) program, parent involvement, transition to school, Head Start staff and child caregiver training, curriculum dissemination, mental health, child health and safety, and adult illiteracy. National data concerning child care are reported, and efforts to provide public information and fund research and demonstration projects assisting parents, local communities, and States in meeting their child care needs are briefly described. Also described are ways the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect meets its responsiblity for generating knowledge and improving programs; collects, analyzes, and disseminates information; operates a State grants program; and coordinates federal efforts. Future directions of the Center, for FY 1986, are specified. Additionally provided are statistics and background information concerning foster care and adoption, along with capsule descriptions of past accomplishments and future objectives. Major strategies for the targeting of ACYF resources are revealed. (RH) |
