Objective
The goal of the Children’s Justice Act Partnerships for Indian Communities (CJA) program is to provide funding, technical assistance, and training to help American Indian and Alaska Native communities develop, establish, and operate programs designed to improve the investigation, prosecution, and handling of cases of child abuse and neglect, and particularly child sexual abuse cases, in a manner which lessens trauma for child victims.
• To improve investigative, prosecutorial, and judicial practices so that trauma is reduced for victims of child abuse and neglect.
• Adopt a trauma-informed, multidisciplinary approach to the investigation, prosecution, and management of cases of child abuse and neglect by providing training to tribal, state, and federal professionals responsible for responding to and intervening in cases of child abuse and neglect in the applicant tribal community. Project activities should focus on improving coordination of efforts through information sharing and developing and implementing written response protocols for child abuse and neglect cases that are designed to minimize trauma for child victims and their family members.
• Provide emergency services for children who are at imminent risk of harm and crisis intervention services to aid child victims and their family members in recovering from incidents of abuse and neglect.
• Develop specialized services for victims of child abuse and neglect and their family members.
