Accessing Services
Call 1-800-HELPKID to discuss your T/TA needs or send us an email at
with
your questions. We will help you develop a specific T/TA work plan, detailing
the purposes, anticipated outcomes, level of effort, and time frame for
the intervention you need. We will work closely with the appropriate Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) Regional Office as we develop this plan
together with you. The ACF Regional Office must formally approve the plan
before we provide any on-site T/TA. On-site T/TA for sub-state agencies (districts, counties, local offices, etc.) must be requested through a State's T/TA single point of contact.
