Illinois Collaboration on Youth

Organizational Affiliate - Illinois
Funding Period:
2009-2012, 2012-2016

Illinois Collaboration on Youth (ICOY) is a network of over 80 providers and advocates serving children and youth in Illinois. ICOY shapes practice and policies and builds the capacity of agencies so that children, youth and families are safe, healthy, and on the path to maximizing their potential. 
From 2009 through 2016, ICOY was the lead agency for the Trauma-Informed Youth Service Initiative (TIYSI) funded through SAMHSA. During this initiative, ICOY partnered with community-based service providers across Illinois and worked to build their capacity to provide trauma informed services. Additionally, during the project, ICOY provided trauma-informed training and capacity-building services to the grassroots and community-based agencies that comprise the statewide youth service system, which enhanced organizational structures through development of policies, procedures, training, evaluation, and governance. 
Today, ICOY continues to offer trauma-informed capacity building services to providers and communities across Illinois. We are contracted with the Illinois Department of Human Services, the Chicago-Cook County Workforce Partnership and other groups to provide our trauma-informed capacity building assessment tool to all of their youth funded sites and provide training and technical assistance to support trauma-informed growth for these agencies.

Institute for Health and Recovery

Organizational Affiliate - Massachusetts
Funding Period:
2009-2012, 2012-2016, 2016-2021

The Institute for Health and Recovery (IHR), a non-profit agency founded in 1989, improves access to and quality of evidence-based trauma-informed care for families, individuals, youth, and pregnant and parenting women affected by trauma, mental illness and substance use disorder (SUD), while advancing principles of health equity and social justice throughout Massachusetts. In 2009, with funding from NCTSN, IHR created BRIGHT (Building Resilience through Intervention: Growing Healthier Together), a dyadic intervention for pregnant and parenting women with SUD and their children 0-6 years old, which addresses attachment and focuses on reflective functioning and emotional regulation. The BRIGHT intervention is designed to support family recovery through a lens that understands child development, SUD, trauma, and parenting. IHR continues to utilize aspects of the BRIGHT intervention in our statewide work, including Project Promise, the state's only day treatment program specifically for pregnant and parenting women, as well as in our work training providers of SUD and child welfare services in the needs of this population. IHR is supported by the state's Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS) to provide a Pregnant Women's Access Line, offering counseling and placement services over the phone. IHR provides training, consultation, technical assistance and curriculum development for state, local and national organizations to improve integration of best practices and policies into prevention and treatment programs, including but not limited to working with parent-child dyads using the BRIGHT intervention. Often, this includes collaborating with developer(s) of interventions such as Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and ARC Grow.

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.
