Abstract

Description

This Guide, prepared collaboratively by the NCA and the NCTSN, has outlined basic issues with which a CAC director should be familiar in order to provide leadership in offering quality mental health services to children who have been abused, traumatized, and/or exposed to violence. Each CAC is unique. Within the NCA s standards (www.nca-online.org), the specifics of services within each accreditation component can be determined internally by the CAC staff. Thus, mental health services may be offered within the CAC or through collaboration with community providers.
