What We Do

A pile of fresh sage leaves

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

  • 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 to better serve AI/AN communities
  • 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, CACs, and partner agencies in their work on behalf of child victims of abuse
