The Multi-Agency Alliance for Children

MAAC coordinates people, resources, information, and a network of quality providers to create positive outcomes for vulnerable youth and families. Our vision is that all youth impacted by multiple child-serving systems receive coordinated care and support to experience a path to permanency and wellbeing. MAAC has been approaching child welfare and behavioral healthcare with an innovative, custom-tailored approach for nearly 20 years. In 1996, several private non-profit agency directors gathered together to create what ultimately became the MAAC collaborative. These directors were driven to create a new way of doing business in the field of behavioral healthcare. Their vision was to create a seamless continuum of care to address all of the needs of the child, adolescent and family while reducing treatment "failures" and uncoordinated multiple placements. By teaming together to create a continuum of collaborative care, each MAAC member-agency maintains their individuality and expertise in the service areas they uniquely provide. This team approach eliminates the duplication of services across multiple agencies, reducing the risk of becoming "spread too thin.” Today the nine non-profit behavioral healthcare providers that form MAAC are united in their passion for serving children and families through an individualized, case-by-case approach. The scope of services offered by MAAC’s member agencies range from assessments to intensive psychiatric care, adoptions to residential group homes, therapeutic foster care to maternity care and much more. As MAAC has grown and expanded throughout the past two decades, we’ve worked hard to keep our focus on what matters most: an unwavering commitment to caring for each of the children and families referred to us. MAAC’s passion and creativity shine through its dedicated staff members; seeing the results of our work in transforming lives is more than enough to keep us motivated both today and for years to come!
