Including NCA-accredited CACs as well as NCA-member CACs pursuing accreditation.*
“I think part of the strength of Tribal MDTs is they see the bigger spiritual connection regarding taking care of their children . . . Tribal MDTs create a space where the Tribal worldview, spirituality, values, and ways of relating can get enacted. It creates a safe space to be able to create what is necessary for that child to be put on a path to healing.”

* The National Children’s Alliance (NCA) is the national accrediting body for Child Advocacy Centers (CACs). Tribes and other organizations that pursue accreditation through the CAC must fully meet 10 standards ensuring that child abuse victims receive effective, efficient, and compassionate services. CACs apply to pursue accreditation, thus becoming NCA members. Associate/Developing NCA members are those CACs in the process of pursuing accreditation. Fully accredited NCA members are those that have met all 10 NCA Standards, as determined by NCA Site Reviewers.
