  • We are extending the application deadline for Enhancing Early Engagement (E3) is on February 23rd

    We are extending the application deadline till February 23, please use the link below to find out more!  Enhancing early engagement of families in mental health assessment and evidence-base trauma treatment is a priority for CAC leaders through NCA. To address this need, NCA partnered with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) on a training initiative, Enhance Early Engagement Training for CAC Victim Advocates, or E3. E3 aims to increase the proportion of children and their caregivers served by CACs who engage in mental health services.  If you have any questions, please contact Geoff Sidoli, gsidoli@nca-online.org. 

  • Enhance Early Engagement (E3) Training for CAC Victim Advocates, January 2024 Information Call

    NCA will be hosting an information call on Tuesday January 30th, from 12:00pm-1:00pm EST to provide information on content, schedule, and training requirements.  To bolster the important work victim advocates already do with families, the focus of E3 is to provide training to victim advocates in trauma responses, brief mental health screening, evidence-based trauma-focused treatments, identification of treatment needs, referrals for mental health services, and evidence-based engagement skills. For senior CAC leaders and advocates, this call is an opportunity to learn more about the training and have any of your questions answered.  Applications for the fall training will open after the information call.  Follow the link to register.
