Welcome to CFRA's News & Events page where you can learn about current events and important information affecting children, families and communities.

Our plan is to use this page to inform you about ground-breaking news, pending legislation and other critical announcements that matter to you and the families you serve. We will also post a calendar of major events throughout California, including trainings and conferences, so that you will know what's going on in your area.

We look forward to keeping you updated with the most essential information to help you do what you do!
