As the comprehensive TA provider to the OVW TTA Initiative, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) operates TA2TA: The TA Provider Resource Center (TA2TA) and recognizes that the OVW TA provider community can bolster the collective impact through common forums for discussion and change. Through activities such as all-TA provider meetings, webinar series, roundtables, and peer-to-peer connections, both virtual and in-person, TA providers are afforded the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other programs and organizations to develop a shared understanding of TA and practical strategies to improve delivery approaches to their unique and varied constituents. Designed by and for the OVW TA provider community, TA2TA facilitates the collaboration and communication integral to the continued strength and sustainability of the work of this project, the OVW TA provider community, and its constituents. In growing partnerships, strengthening relationships, and convening to identify promising practices and emerging trends, TA2TA lays the foundation for better day-to-day realization of work on OVW-funded projects while generating a strategic plan and future vision for the OVW TTA Initiative.
