State Chapters

Midwest Regional CAC works in partnership with 12 NCA Accredited State Chapters.  According to the National Children’s Alliance(NCA), Chapter organizations are member organizations comprised of children’s advocacy centers within a given state, similar in structure to NCA.  And, like the children’s advocacy centers they serve, no two Chapters are alike.  Each is responsive to the unique needs of its individual state, but all share a common purpose. Chapter organizations serve as the leading resource within the state for children’s advocacy centers and facilitate a network dedicated to a coordinated and comprehensive response to child abuse.
