A private nonprofit organization, Maryland Children’s Alliance (MCA) is accredited by the National Children’s Alliance (NCA) as a State Chapter to serve as a convener of Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) across Maryland.
Representing a collaborative effort among our membership, staff, and the Board of Directors, Maryland Children’s Alliance provides support services to existing and emerging children’s advocacy centers and serves as a leading resource on the CAC model within the state, promoting system-wide improvements for children who have experienced abuse and helping to make our communities safer.
The primary goal of Maryland Children’s Alliance is to ensure that every jurisdiction in Maryland is offering collaborative, evidence-based investigative and treatment services in response to allegations of child abuse. We work with local CACs, from Allegany to Worcester counties, to serve Maryland’s children.
