Our mission is to support youth and families in maximizing their potential and enhancing their wellness in the environments of school, family, and community through advocacy, mental health services, and education. Our agency provides mental health services to vulnerable youth who have personal, family, social emotional, academic, and/or environmental struggles often complicated by by extensive trauma history. Our purpose is to help youth address issues that interfere with functioning and success. Services are provided in natural and familiar environments, including the school, family home and community. Embedding services into natural environments provides better access to services, destigmatizes mental health treatment, and increases the integration and collaboration of trauma treatment more fully with support systems involved in the every day lives of youth.

Healing Hurt People (HHP), which is part of Drexel University's Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice (CNSJ), Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University

Community Treatment and Services Centers - Category III - Pennsylvania
Funding Period:
2021-2026

Established in Philadelphia in 2007, Healing Hurt People (HHP), a hospital and community-based violence intervention program, serves children (ages 8 to 17) and young adult (ages 18 to 35) victims of and witnesses to interpersonal violence. HHP, part of the Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice (CNSJ) at Drexel University, provides trauma-focused therapy, peer support, and case management. Since 2009, HHP has been operating at the Emergency Department of St Christopher's Hospital for Children, a large pediatric hospital in Philadelphia. HHP also has long-standing partnerships with and receives referrals from local Level I and II Trauma Centers. HHP utilizes a phase-based approach to help children, youth, and their families recover from the psychological sequelae of violent injury by engaging them in culturally competent services that promote healing and resiliency. HHP uses hospital and community partnerships as points of identification, incorporating assertive outreach led by peer specialists to engage a historically marginalized population that seldom seeks behavioral health services at the traditional outpatient clinic setting. Licensed master's level professionals offer trauma-specific therapy. HHP services are provided in various settings, including home, community, hospital, office, school, and Telehealth. Since 2018, HHP has implemented an innovative approach to trauma services by integrating home and community-based Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) with peer services and case management for its pediatric population. HHP also offers the Community of Young People Healing, Experiencing, Rebuilding (CYPHER)/ Safety, Emotions, Loss and Future (SELF) groups.

Healthy Environments and Response to Schools (HEARTS), Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, UCSF at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital

Community Treatment and Services Centers - Category III - California
Funding Period:
2020-2025

HEARTS is a whole-school prevention/intervention program that aims to create trauma-informed, safe, supportive, and equitable learning and teaching environments that foster resilience and wellness for everyone in the school community. HEARTS utilizes a multi-tiered system of support to address trauma at the student, staff, school organizational, and district levels through training and consultation with school personnel, and mental health supports for students and families. HEARTS work is guided by six principles that are grounded in trauma research and an extensive review of trauma-informed systems work nationally: Understanding Trauma and Stress; Cultural Humility and Equity; Safety and Predictability; Compassion and Dependability; Empowerment and Collaboration; and Resilience and Social Emotional Learning. A core feature distinguishing HEARTS from many other trauma-informed school approaches is the centrality of cultural responsiveness and equity in all aspects of the program. We believe that given the toxic, trauma-inducing, and pervasive nature of structural racism and other forms of oppression, any efforts to mitigate the effects of trauma must include efforts to counteract these harms. Further, without a culturally responsive and equity-promoting lens, there is a risk that trauma concepts could be used to pathologize marginalized communities rather than underscore their resilience. HEARTS-Extended (HEARTS-E) is our NCTSI-funded project that provides evidence-based trauma-focused mental health treatment, services, and support systems for trauma-impacted children and youth at three elementary and two middle school sites in San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), focusing on capacity-building for SFUSD personnel to deliver these services.

Henry Ford Health System

Community Treatment and Services Centers - Category III - Michigan
Funding Period:
2021-2026

Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) is a comprehensive health system that provides an array of services at all levels of care for all age groups. Annually, care provided by HFHS includes over 2 million patient visits, 78,000 ambulatory surgeries and 93,000 hospital admissions. HFHS is also one of Michigan's largest and most experienced providers of behavioral health services, including 5 outpatient clinics, 10 integrated care clinics, an inpatient unit, intensive substance use treatment facilities, and school- and community-based health clinics. HFHS is the primary safety net hospital in Detroit. Nearly 60% of patients have Medicaid or Medicare, and the system provides ~$500 million in uncompensated care for uninsured patients each year. Our newest SAMHSA grant seeks to improve the capacity and provision of trauma-focused services within pediatric behavioral health and integrated care clinics across HFHS. Children ages 4-17 years will be served through this project and will be identified and referred for services through screening at well visits, inpatient stays, ED visits, and behavioral health care appointments. To do so, we are implementing two trauma-focused treatments, the Attachment, Regulation and Competency Framework (ARC) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), while increasing identification of and referral to treatment for child traumatic stress. Our goal is to have our Child Trauma Specialty Service become the central hub for treatment of child trauma in the metro Detroit area, which includes a population of over 850,000 children under age 18.

Funding Period:
2021-2026

The Institute for Psychological Research (IPsi) at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus supports research and provides continuing education for mental health professionals and services to the general population. Researchers and clinicians at the IPsi have developed and adapted evidence-based interventions to prevent and treat different mental health disorders in the Puerto Rico population. As part of its services program, in 2014, the Specialized Clinic on Evidence-Based Psychological Practices was developed to offer culturally-centered evidence-based treatments. In 2016, licensed Ph.D.-level clinical psychologists at IPsi were trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and started the Proyecto de Apoyo a Niños/as y Adolescentes (PANA) to facilitate the intervention with children and adolescents of 6 to 17-year-old who had been victims of crime and/or affected by the hurricanes Irma o María. In addition to TF-CBT, PANA offered psychoeducation on trauma to caregivers and public school personnel. As a member of the NCTSN, IPsi is extending its work’s scope to provide TF-CBT to children and adolescents who have experienced any type of traumatic event, trauma psychoeducation to any type of professional that serves that population, and to train eligible mental health professionals on TF-CBT.
