Accredited and Certified
Catholic Charities is nationally accredited by the Council of Services for Family and Children, is a state certified mental health clinic, and is licensed by the State of Wisconsin as a child welfare agency.
The Immigration Program is accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals, U.S. Department of Justice.
Counseling, Child Welfare, Budget Counseling, Hispanic Outreach, and Immigration Services are accredited by the Council of Accreditation (COA). Accreditation from the Council on Accreditation for Family and Children’s Agencies ensures that Catholic Charities operates under the highest professional standards and best practices in the nation.
What is COA?
COA accredits organizations delivering child and family, behavioral healthcare, consumer credit counseling, and/or community support and education services. The accreditation process includes self-study and onsite reviews. Through accreditation, Catholic Charities is recognized for providing quality services that comply with nationally recognized best practice standards.
Why Should Catholic Charities Be Accredited?
Accreditation is a statement to the communities you serve and to your funders that your organization has complied with nationally recognized standards of best practice. It is often compared with the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval." Increasingly, funding sources such as state governments and managed-care companies are requiring accreditation by a highly respected national accrediting body.
