Dartmouth Trauma Interventions Research Center

Community Treatment and Services Centers - Category III - New Hampshire
Funding Period:
2005-2009, 2009-2012, 2021-2026

The Dartmouth Trauma Interventions Research Center has more than three decades of experience with dissemination, implementation, and application of Evidence Based Practices in real world settings (i.e., child welfare, juvenile justice, pediatric and primary care, mental health practice, family resource centers, schools, residential treatment facilities). DTIRC has disseminated TF-CBT and CPP widely in Northern New England. This current project focuses on the intersection of childhood trauma and intellectual and developmental disabilities. There will be a focus on the triple intersection of trauma, neurodiversity, gender diversity, and the various ways each overlaps. The core components include training for the child-serving workforce in trauma-informed care using NCTSN's Road to Recovery, developing a differential diagnosis training, a triple intersection training, TF-CBT training, and modified TF-CBT training for the above populations. Additionally the team will offer CARE Connections to parents and caregivers, with modifications for these populations. Related to all of the above the team will support increased and improved screening practices in pediatric settings.

Dartmouth Trauma Interventions Research Center, New Hampshire Bridge Project

Organizational Affiliate - New Hampshire
Funding Period:
2005-2009, 2009-2012

As an NCTSN member, the Dartmouth Trauma Interventions Research Center (DTIRC) brought evidence-based treatment (TF CBT) for traumatized children to every community mental health center in New Hampshire. Through SAMHSA funding and grants from the New Hampshire Endowment for Health and the Fidelity Foundation, DTIRC established a videoconference network to allow weekly supervision of clinicians by DTIRC and national experts. DTIRC also implemented Project Prevent, which enhanced access to evidence-based evaluation and trauma treatment (CPP) for children aged 0-5 in four agencies across New Hampshire. Its NCTSN-sponsored New Hampshire Bridge project allowed implementation of mental health screening and treatment referral processes across five New Hampshire juvenile justice courts by partnering with family court judges. The most recent NCTSN project entailed a highly productive collaboration with the New Hampshire Division of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) in which the Breakthrough Series Collaborative (BSC) increased placement stability for children in foster care through trauma-sensitive practices in child welfare. Most recently, DTIRC has partnered with DCYF on two Administration for Children and Families (ACF) grants designed to develop a collaborative trauma-informed child welfare system that effectively addresses the well-being needs of involved youth. The Partners for Change project aims to improve the social and emotional well-being of children in the New Hampshire child welfare system, including juvenile justice youth, through universal screening, assessment, evidence-based treatment, progress monitoring, and psychotropic medication oversight. New Hampshire Adoption Preparation and Preservation will focus on the creation of a child serving system in which adoptive children and families have access to trauma-informed, adoption-competent services and supports so that they have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to meet the child’s needs and ensure a successful adoption.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Child Resilience Center

Treatment and Services Adaptation Centers - Category II - District Of Columbia
Funding Period:
2021-2026

Deaf and hard of hearing children and youth are typically at a higher risk for trauma exposure than the general child population due to the unique trauma experienced from everyday communication barriers. Yet, the number of trauma-informed and linguistically accessible treatments and mental health measures for deaf and hard of hearing remain severely limited. We're here to change that. The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Child Resilience Center was created to address the gap between children who have experienced trauma and the mental health services they deserve. We've developed a multi-tier approach to improve the outcome of services and to eliminate health disparities for traumatized deaf children, adolescents, and their families. The goals our center is focused around adapting and translating child behavioral and trauma measures, developing a new screening measure of language deprivation, adapting evidence-based treatments, and providing training and ongoing consultation for clinicians.
