Council on Accreditation

The Council on Accreditation (COA) is an organization that evaluates and certifies organizations providing social services, including mental health, child welfare, and family services. Its goal is to ensure these organizations meet high standards of quality, accountability, and effective practices. Being accredited by COA indicates that an organization has undergone thorough review and adheres to best practices, helping clients and communities trust that they are receiving reliable and ethical services. COA’s rigorous evaluation process promotes continuous improvement and accountability within the social service sector.
