The mission of the Office of the Child Advocate is to lift up children by promoting equitable and effective reforms that meet the best interests of all New Hampshire children and strengthen public confidence and accountability in the State’s systems that support children and families.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences Response Team (ACERT) is a collaborative approach to addressing the negative effects of childhood trauma. When children have encountered police involvement we facilitate access to mental health services and social supports for the affected families and their children. This initiative is a partnership between Amoskeag Health, the Manchester Police Department, and YWCA
