The Connecticut Children’s Alliance (CCA) was founded on a simple but powerful vision: Children should never have to face abuse or neglect alone.

What began as a collaboration among dedicated professionals has grown into a statewide movement. Through Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) and Child Advocacy Centers (CACs), Connecticut built a coordinated response that reduces trauma, strengthens investigations, and ensures children and families have the support they need.

Over time, this work has expanded to include prevention efforts and address other forms of violence like human trafficking through initiatives like the Regionalized Human Trafficking Taskforce.

Today, CCA represents ten accredited CACs and seventeen MDTs which serve thousands of children and families across Connecticut. CCA has grown from a small coalition of CACs into a statewide hub for innovation and advocacy in child protection.
