Traverse for Child Welfare
Support better outcomes for children and families without sacrificing efficiency in health and human services.
Northwoods created Traverse capabilities for child welfare programs to help agency workers focus on protecting children and families. Traverse makes critical case information accessible, accurate, and easier to act on, reducing the complexity in your work.
What You Can Do With Traverse
Complete releases and referrals in minutes to connect families with services faster.
Surface medical reports, police records, and case history in moments to inform decisions.
Receive quick approvals and supervisor input on safety and support plans.
With Traverse, child welfare workers locate documents and uncover critical case history in minutes, not days or even weeks.
Software That Supports the Whole Child Welfare Journey
Traverse gives child welfare pros immediate access to digital case files—anytime, anywhere.
Child welfare work is demanding … and deeply personal. You’re handling investigations, court prep, home visits, documentation, safety planning—the list goes on. But your agency-side options don’t necessarily help carry the weight.
Traverse does. From uncovering historical case details to completing safety plans in the field, it rejuvenates your workflow. We designed it so that you can spend more time with people, less time on paperwork.
And less time bouncing among systems and software means more time meeting state and federal requirements.
