In response to the significant need for trauma treatment services, La Clínica established the Screening, Treatment and Trauma Training in Primary Care (STATT- PC) program in 2016. This program was initiated in order to expand trauma services to youth with unmet mental health needs. Through the project’s successful implementation, La Clínica has already served over 10,000 youth through screenings and evidence-based treatments and impacted hundreds more through teacher and primary care physician trainings on trauma. In this cycle of funding, La Clínica has aimed to expand the program to address the following needs: 1) adaptations to the CBITS model for newcomers, 2) 1:1 tier III trauma interventions to treat high need youth, and 3) flexible group based EBP implementation when working in close partnership with schools. We are also cognizant of the profound lasting psychological impacts of COVID-19 on our students as well as the anti-racism and cultural competency work that needs to be furthered. This cycle's project considers the current realities of our students lives and aims to build a multitiered approach in alignment with La Clínica’s 48-year history of providing culturally competent care.
