Advancing Child and Family Welfare
Child and family welfare programs are essential to protecting children and promoting positive outcomes across communities. Effective systems address immediate needs and build the foundation for long-term safety and well-being.
TriMetrix has a long history of supporting child and family welfare agencies through innovative technology solutions, data-driven insights, and program support. We partner with federal, state, tribal, and local organizations to strengthen systems and develop solutions that lead to better outcomes for children and families.
Areas of Expertise
Our team brings deep, hands-on experience across key child and family welfare topic areas across the country. Our areas of expertise include:
Child Protective Services
Our staff have worked at every level of child welfare, from investigators and caseworkers to supervisors and program leaders. They bring firsthand knowledge of investigation, safety and risk assessment, case management, placement, family engagement, and program leadership across diverse state and local systems. We use this experience to help agencies strengthen child protection practice and support safer, more consistent responses for children and families.
Child Maltreatment Data
Our child welfare experts help programs collect, analyze, and use data on child abuse and neglect. We apply this expertise to support high-quality reporting, respond to data requests, and advance research on child maltreatment. These efforts help agencies move beyond reporting requirements by using data to identify maltreatment trends, understand performance, and inform program decisions.
Child Welfare Information Systems
Our subsidiary, WRMA, was founded to provide automated solutions for child welfare agencies. Our child welfare experts bridge practice and technology by translating policy, business processes, and user needs into system requirements and implementation strategies. We help states modernize SACWIS and CCWIS environments and connect intake, investigation, and case management systems so staff have the information they need to support children and families.
Child Welfare Systems Research and Evaluation
Our researchers combine rigorous methods with a deep understanding of child welfare programs and administrative data. We design and carry out studies and evaluations to help partners answer questions and strengthen the evidence base. This work supports continuous quality improvement, Child and Family Services Reviews, and system improvement planning, helping agencies use evidence to improve services and outcomes for children and families.

Client Stories
Improving National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System
The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) is the primary source for national statistics about child maltreatment. NCANDS collects, validates, and analyzes data from all 50 states, providing critical insights into child abuse and neglect trends. Since 1988, we have supported the Administration on Children, Youth, and Families on sequential contracts to design, implement, and maintain this national data collection and reporting system and provide technical assistance to the states to ensure legislative compliance.
Modernizing the Child Welfare Services System in California
We partnered with the California Department of Social Services to maintain and enhance the state’s Child Welfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS). Through system enhancements, technical assistance, and child welfare expertise, we help strengthen case management, improve data and reporting, and support evolving policy and operational needs. Our work connects technology, data, and child welfare practice to help state and county teams deliver effective services for children and families.
