- Children's Interagency Coordinating Councils from the NJ Department of Children and FamiliesChildren's Interagency Coordinating Councils (CIACCs) are entities that foster cross-system service planning for children with behavioral health problems. They develop and maintain a responsive, accessible and integrated system of care for children with special social and emotional needs and their families, through the involvement of parents, consumers, youth, and child-serving agencies as partners. CIACCs also coordinate Educational Partnerships, which are alliances between local school districts and local agencies that serve youth and families. These partnerships provide cross-system training and help direct resources and services from the Department of Children and Families and other sources to families in need. They serve as a forum for local school personnel, DCF staff, and local service providers to cross-train throughout the school year, and to help systems understand how they fit together in the local system of care to support youth and families. Educators who would like to participate in Educational Partnerships should contact the CIACC in their county. Visit the New Jersey Department of Children and Families website for CIACC contact information.
