Divisions & Offices

Children’s Interagency Coordinating Councils (CIACCs) are local planning entities that foster cross-system service planning for youth with needs related to behavioral health, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and substance use. CIACCs provide a multidisciplinary forum to develop and maintain a responsive, accessible, and integrated system of care through the involvement of parents, service recipients, and youth/child serving agencies as partners.
