Institute for Psychological Research, University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus
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.
