The Center for Children's Advocacy, Inc. is a non-profit
organization affiliated with the University of Connecticut School
of Law in Hartford, CT.
Our mission is to promote and protect the legal
rights and interests of poor children who are dependent upon the
judicial, child welfare, health and mental health, education, and
juvenile justice systems for their care.
The Center employs a number of methods to achieve
its purposes including:
- systemic representation
- individual representation
- training for attorneys and child
advocates
- administrative advocacy
- legislative advocacy
- consultation
Recognizing that interdisciplinary approaches
contribute immensely to the understanding of children's issues,
the Center is committed to working in partnership with experts and
policy analysts to develop appropriate solutions to meet the complex
challenges of interlocking systems.
CCA staff co-authored an article entitled, "Providing
Holistic Legal Services to Children in Their Communities."
Although children living in poverty need service-delivery systems
that give care in a responsive and integrated manner, service delivery
traditionally has been compartmentalized. CCA provides holistic
legal services to children in their communities; and, improves the
quality of legal representation of children through innovative interdisciplinary
models and training programs.
