New England Network for Child,Youth & Family Services is a private, not-for-profit organization that works to support and advance child and youth services throughout New England. Through our linked professional development and practical research divisions, NEN works collaboratively to strengthen social services, promote best practices and respond to emerging policy and practice issues. NEN acts quickly and leverages its relationships with peer organizations throughout the country to press key initiatives and translate new thinking into effective programming. We respond rapidly to emerging policy issues, stay with initiatives long enough to make a difference, and possess the expertise to craft models for change that can be replicated elsewhere.
