 Closure of CCCA: Possible Impact on Virginias Behavioral Health System
of Care for Children & Families
Virginia's Commonwealth Center for Children and Adolescents (CCCA) is slated for
closure by June 2009 in Governor Tim Kaine's budget cost-cutting proposals released in
mid-December 2008. The Northern Virginia chapter of the National Alliance
on Mental Illness (NAMI No-Va) critiqued the Governor's proposal because CCCA is the last
publicly-funded inpatient treatment facility for children and adolescents
in the commonwealth. NAMI No-Va believes that closure would eliminate a
critical part of the system of care for children with mental illness.
