	Subject:	promising practices to prevent child abuse

	I've been looking furiously but unsuccessfully for US model programs
on the prevention of child abuse and neglect.  Could anyone give me a tip on
a website that has data focusing on model programs?  I have information on
guidelines for effective intervention but not specific names of programs
implementing some of these guidelines.  I've tried the "calib.com"  and
virtually all the links possible.  

	Thank you!
