TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Safe start: Promising practices from the evaluation of the demonstration project association for the study and development of community JO - Journal of emotional abuse A1 - Hyde, Mary M. A1 - Lamb, Yvette H. A1 - Chavis, David SP - 175 EP - 186 VL - 8 IS - 1-2 N2 - Several activities were used to evaluate the Safe Start Demonstration Project (2000–2006). Findings from two of the evaluation activities (i.e., process evaluations, promising practices reports) have been combined in this article to discuss systems change strategies implemented to better serve children exposed to violence and the promising practices that supported them. Together, these two evaluation processes yield valuable information for practitioners on how to engage families, systems, and communities to create more responsive systems capable of meeting the needs of children exposed to violence. These findings and examples also provide useful strategies and practices for future efforts focused on children exposed to violence.
