PROJECT SUMMARY 2001-JN-FX-K007 S2
The purpose of this award is to continue to support the State of Alaska Division of Family and Youth Services (DFYS) to develop coordinated and comprehensive child abuse investigations and interventions in communities throughout the State. To achieve this goal, DFYS will provide subgrants to selected communities in order to develop and expand a Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) in their community. Currently, there are six operating CACs in Alaska; Alaska C.A.R.E.S. in Anchorage, The Children's Place in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, the Southeast Alaska Family Evaluation Child Advocacy Center (safe) IN Juneau, Stevie's Place in Fiarbanks, Tundra Women's Coalition in Bethel, and Kawerak, Inc in Nome.
Two new program will be funded through DFYS to continue the model of coordinated investigations of suspected child abuse. Maniilaq Association from Kotzebue and Bristol Bay Native Corporation in Dillingham have documented high rates of child sexual and physical abuse in their regions accompanied with high rates of alcoholism fetal alcohol syndrome, and domestic violence.
The goals for each CAC are as follows: 1) coordinate multi-disciplinary team child abuse investigations through implementations through implementation of a CAC; 2) improve short and long-term outcomes for children and families referred for suspected abuse and neglect; and 3) improve community awareness and detection of child abuse and neglect.
