Community Technical Assistance Center

All NY State youth and family serving organizations receive ongoing access to research-based information related to the implementation of the best practices in mental health care, including:

• Professional development trainings, webinars, learning communities, or podcasts in a variety of areas and domains 
• Attending to time-sensitive critical issues
• Supporting providers’ ability to meet the needs of vulnerable populations

In partnership with Families Together in NYS, CTAC administers the NYS Family and Youth Peer Credential and offers family and youth peer trainings and continuing education. CTAC offers a variety of trainings and resources to address the ongoing skills and knowledge needs of family and youth peer advocates and to support the growth of the peer workforce.

CTAC is committed to equity and inclusion and we promote learning and implementation to center wellness for providers, youth, families, and communities.
