Puerto Rican Family Institute (PRFI) has opened the Children and Adolescent Trauma Center to provide trauma-informed services to Latin children ages 2 to 21, their families, and communities. Our clinicians are trained in the evidence-based practices, TF-CBT, embedding the principles of a trauma-informed organization in PRFI and offering community trauma education, consultation, and referral information to a diverse range of partners. The geographic catchment area is comprised of three New York City boroughs: Manhattan, Bronx, and Brooklyn, where PRFI maintains clinics and where we have strong current partnerships with schools and community-based organizations. Emotional trauma is one of the most unrecognized, undiagnosed, and untreated forms of trauma. Puerto Rican Family Institute proposes to help change that by enhancing our clinical expertise, leveraging the trust PRFI has established in the NYC Latin communities, and relying on the reputation we have for high-quality, culturally-informed services among our partners – medical organizations, schools, community coalitions, and other community organizations. We will provide education to understand a trauma-informed framework and perspective and prioritize practical and applied strategies that have immediate benefits for the well-being and healing of traumatized children, families, and staff who work with traumatized populations.

It delivers medical and behavioral health services to children and youth in multiple settings, ensuring that there is no wrong door of entry for any child who will benefit from our trauma informed services. Their multidisciplinary team takes a cross systems approach to treatment and observes each contact with a child as an opportunity to screen, evaluate and treat for trauma.

The NC Youth Violence Prevention Center, in partnership with the NC Governor's Crime Commission, seeks to assist victims of crime living throughout Robeson County, NC. Robeson County Teen Court Program is one of the main programs of the NC Youth Violence Prevention Center. The program takes a proactive approach towards victim assistance by educating law enforcement, school personnel, and human services professionals about the dynamics of victimization. We serve victims directly by offering support groups and individual counseling following their traumatic experiences. Lastly, we create and utilize individualized case management plans to ensure that the multifaceted aspects of client's needs are met. 

The mission of the Robeson County Teen Court program is to assist first time offenders in assuming responsibility for their criminal behavior by holding each offender accountable for their actions and by teaching them to make better decisions in the future through community service activities while making a positive impact on their community. Teen Court is an alternative, voluntary program, which offers young offenders an opportunity to make restitution for a non-violent offense through community service, specialized classes and jury service, thus avoiding fines and keeping the juvenile’s record clear. By bringing the teens before a jury of their peers, this program seeks to deter teens from future unlawful behavior, while providing direct experience in the judiciary system and an understanding of their future role as a productive citizen.
