Funded by the US Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Midwest Regional Children's Advocacy Center offers a full range of training and technical assistance to developed and developing children's advocacy centers.
The MRCAC operates in pursuit of several objectives that can be divided into five broad areas, as follows:
* development of multi-disciplinary teams/CACs
* coordination of training and technical assistance
* promotion of public awareness and general education
* process evaluation methods
* exploration of the development of models for constituent involvement
The intent of our services is to assist new communities with program start-up and strengthen prospective and existing centers by supporting their passage through developmental stages. The goal of the intervention is to assure coordinated, non-traumatizing services to children and their families who are victims of abuse and neglect. Community/CAC needs addressed by the MRCAC include:
Partnerships
MRCAC partners with the National Children's Alliance ( NCA) and the other three (3) regionals around the country to collaborate on training and technical assistance innitiatives. MRCAC works with the centers in the Midwest to help them meet the NCA Standards for Accreditation and to provide them with ongoing training of new techniques and best practices.
