Welcome to the State and Federal Agencies
Resource Hub

At NADEC, we work closely with state and federal agencies.  Through partnerships with organizations like the Department of Justice and various State Agencies, we provide research, tools, and guidance to help policymakers, law enforcement, and child welfare professionals address the complex challenges at the intersection of substance misuse, child welfare, and public safety.

Resources for State and Federal Agencies

This resource hub includes:

• Research & Policy Reports – In-depth studies on the cross-section between substance abuse, human trafficking, and child welfare, providing insights to inform policy and decision-making.

• Best Practices for Agencies – Evidence-based strategies for addressing the impact of substance use on children within justice systems, healthcare, education, and child protection.

• Guides & Implementation Resources – Frameworks to help state and federal agencies develop and enhance programs that protect vulnerable children.

• Community Impact & Prevention Strategies – Tools to support collaboration between agencies, local organizations, and DEC Alliances to create stronger prevention and intervention efforts.

We understand that policy and systemic change play a critical role in protecting children and families. That’s why we encourage agencies to partner with NADEC and explore our network of multidisciplinary professionals working toward the same goal.
