Safe and Bright Futures for Children - Final Report The Safe and Bright Futures Initiative was launched by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in 2003 to encourage communities to plan, develop, implement, and sustain a coordinated system of prevention, intervention, treatment, and follow-through services for children who have witnessed or been exposed to domestic violence.1 In 2004, The Child Witness to Violence Project at Boston Medical Center and the Children’s Advocacy Center of Suffolk County received a grant from the U.S. DHHS to create the Suffolk County Safe and Bright Futures for Children Project (this point forward “The SBF Project”), a two-year effort to design and implement a community needs assessment targeting the availability and delivery of services to children and adolescents exposed to domestic violence (CEDV).
