Technical
assistance is the provision of individual or small group focused, hands on
support for a specific issue or topic. This support can be provided through
a telephone call, provision of resources, an on-site visit, a support group
meeting at the resource center, or support provided by a CCCRC trainer after
a training session is completed. Many people refer to technical assistance
as mentoring or coaching. CCCRC currently provides free technical assistance
