About the Technical Assistance Partnership
The Technical Assistance Partnership for Child and Family Mental Health (TA Partnership) provides technical assistance to system of care communities that are currently funded to operate the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program. The mission of the TA Partnership is “helping communities build systems of care to meet the mental health needs of children, youth, and families.”

This technical assistance center operates under contract from the federal Child, Adolescent and Family Branch, Center for Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The TA Partnership is a collaboration between two mission-driven organizations:

• The National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health — dedicated to effective family leadership and advocacy to improve the quality of life of children with mental health needs and their families.
• The American Institutes for Research — committed to improving the lives of families and communities through the translation of research into best practice and policy, and
• The TA Partnership includes family members and professionals with extensive practice experience employed by either the American Institutes for Research or the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health. Through this partnership, we model the family-professional relationships that are essential to our work.
