COA Accreditation
In 2006, New Day Recovery Youth and Family Services received its first national accreditation from the Council on Accreditation (COA), and in 2010 we are pursuing reaccreditation. We are proud to join 1800 leading private and public organizations across North America that have obtained this recognition.
COA is an independent, not-for-profit accreditor for community-based behavioral health care and social service agencies. Accreditation by COA provides reliable and objective verification of credibility, integrity and achievement, assuring: Strong financial controls are in place; Best practice methods are being followed; High standards of organizational and management oversight are practiced; and Services are client focused, mission driven and outcome oriented in all aspects.
An extensive self-study process focused the attention of our staff, board members, advisors, volunteers and donors on the mission-critical areas that make New Day Recovery Youth and Family Services highly effective. The process culminates in a four-day site visit by a team of nationally certified peer reviewers. The result was New Day Recovery Youth and Family Services receiving the highest level of accreditation possible by COA, four years. This year, we embark on the same journey for reaccreditation. We are confident that we will once again succeed and surpass COA’s expectations!
Accreditation is both a significant achievement and a powerful promise. It means that the New Day Recovery Youth and Family services meets the highest national standards of best practice and is delivering needed and best quality services to the parents and children in our community whom we serve.
Accreditation is not an end unto its self; it is a process by which we can consistently strive for and achieve new levels of excellence. We acknowledge and thank our Board of Directors and our staff for all of their help on this endeavor. For more information about the Council on Accreditation, please visit www.coanet.org
