This accomplishment signifies that Catholic Charities has successfully implemented best practice standards in the field of human services. C.O.A. evaluated all aspects of Catholic Charities\u2019 programs, services, management, and administration.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1925, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois has provided critical programs to people of all faiths throughout its 28-county service area in south central Illinois. The agency operates offices and facilities in the communities of Quincy, Beardstown, Springfield, Decatur, Mattoon, Effingham, Carlinville, Alton and Granite City. Catholic Charities provides basic needs services (i.e. food, clothing, crisis assistance) as well as comprehensive, professional programs in the areas of counseling, social work, guardianship, health and legal services. Every year, thousands of vulnerable individuals and families are faithfully served by Catholic Charities in fulfillment of its mission. The agency was originally accredited through C.O.A. in 2001. \u201cWe are pleased to achieve this important validation of the quality programs offered through Catholic Charities,\u201d stated Steven Roach, Executive Director. \u201cWe hope everyone who supports us can take a sense of pride in this accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>C.O.A. is an independent, not-for-profit accreditor of the full continuum of community-based behavioral health care and social service organizations in the United States and Canada. The accreditation process involves detailed analysis of an organization\u2019s administration, management, and service delivery functions against international standards of best practice. The standards driving accreditation ensure that services are well coordinated, culturally competent, evidence-based, outcomes-oriented, and provided by a skilled and supported workforce. C.O.A. accreditation demonstrates accountability in the management of resources, sets standardized best practice thresholds for service and administration, and increases organizational capacity and accountability by creating a framework for ongoing quality improvement.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about C.O.A., please visit www.social-current.org .<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the 100-year history of Catholic Charities and its mission and programs, visit cc.dio.org.
