Commissioners’ Committee on Cross-Systems Services for Children and Youth

Regional Technical Assistance Teams (RiTATs) are teams that are comprised of representatives from many different systems and are vital to our cross-systems work. Currently there are five regional technical assistance teams in New York State.
Shared Purpose:
- act as liaisons between the Council on Children and Families and county teams;
- identify regional barriers and address creative solutions;
- provide cross-systems training and technical assistance on local and regional levels; and
- promote services that are family-driven, youth guided and culturally and linguistically competent.
Although all five teams share these general objectives, each RiTAT is unique. Please view a more detailed description of each RiTAT below:
Regional Team Leaders participate in monthly calls with Bill Przylucki, and assist in coordinating training and technical assistance events throughout the year.
