The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services’ mission is to make sure all Illinois children live in safe and loving homes. DCFS provides child welfare services in Illinois, and is the nation's largest state child welfare agency to earn accreditation from the Council on Accreditation for Children and Family Services (COA).

The Center for Child and Youth Policy at U.C. Berkeley is a new Organized Research Unit focused on interdisciplinary research, and information dissemination to public policy makers at the state and local level. The Center brings together the talents of faculty from across campus who share an interest in children's issues and children's policy. Web site: http://ccyp.berkeley.edu/

The Children of Alcoholics Foundation was established in 1982 to help children and adults from addicted families. COAF’s mission is to help children of all ages from alcoholic and substance–abusing families reach their full potential by breaking the cycle of parental substance abuse and reducing the pain and problems that result from parental addiction. To realize this goal, COAF, an affiliate of Phoenix House since 1997, develops curriculum and other educational materials, writes reports, provides information about parental substance abuse for the public, trains professionals, and promotes research.
