NCARC promotes the expansion and enhancement of accredited Child Advocacy Centers serving American Indian and Alaska Native children, families, and communities.

What does that involve?

  • Outreach to Native Nations about the value of accredited CACs

  • Tailored training and technical assistance to Tribal CACs and to Tribal stakeholders interested in developing CACs

  • Training and technical assistance to non-Tribal CACs that serve AI/AN communities, with the goal of supporting increased cultural responsiveness and the integration of Tribal values and practices  

  • The development of new trainings, curricula, practice briefs, and other products to advance the CAC movement in Tribal communities and expand the reach and effectiveness of CACs serving AI/AN communities

  • Facilitation of collaboration among existing Tribal CACs, MDTs, and stakeholders who are in the process of developing CACs and MDTs in Tribal communities

  • And anything else we can do to support Tribes and CACs in their work on behalf of child victims of abuse
