Child abuse

The VOCA Regional Children’s Advocacy Centers competitive program supports four Regional Children’s Advocacy Centers, one situated within each of the four U.S. Census regions, that (1) develop multidisciplinary teams, local children’s advocacy center programs, and state chapter organizations that respond to child abuse and neglect; and (2) deliver training and technical assistance that strengthen existing multidisciplinary teams, child advocacy center programs, and state chapter organizations.

OJJDP’s Family Drug Court Training and Technical Assistance Program supports training and technical assistance (TTA) that helps states, state courts, local courts, units of local government, and Indian Tribal governments develop, maintain, and enhance drug courts for substance-abusing adults who are involved with the family court due to child abuse and/or neglect issues.
