Mercy Family Center - Project Fleur-de-lis

Community Treatment and Services Centers - Category III - Louisiana
Funding Period:
2008-2012, 2012-2016, 2016-2021

Project Fleur-de-lis (PFDL), a program of Mercy Family Center, began as an intermediate and long-term school-based mental health service model for youth exposed to traumatic events in the Greater New Orleans area following Hurricane Katrina. PFDL has evolved over the past 16 years to provide evidence-based treatment to youth, families, and communities who have been impacted by community violence, grief, complex trauma, and suicide to enhance personal and community resilience. PFDL’s population of focus is low-income, urban, Black youth ages 5-21 who are underserved in the Greater New Orleans (GNO) area (Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Tammany Parishes (counties)). Project Fleur-de-lis proposes the following goals: Goal 1: Increase access for trauma-exposed, culturally diverse youth and their families to culturally responsive, evidence-based trauma treatment (Bounce Back, Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) + Racial Trauma Model (RTM), and Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS). Goal 2: Increase access for youth and their families to culturally responsive, evidence-based bereavement and traumatic bereavement treatment (Trauma and Grief Component Therapy for Adolescents (TGCTA). Goal 3: Establish a trauma-, bereavement-, and suicide-informed community for youth by building the capacity of mental health professionals, community members, and youth with lived experience in PFDL’s geographical catchment area.

Metrocare Services

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

Metrocare is the largest provider of mental health services in North Texas, serving over 55,000 adults and children annually. For over 50 years, Metrocare has provided a broad array of services to people with mental health challenges and developmental disabilities. InTaCT (ITCT-C/A) at Metrocare is an “evidence-based model that integrates a variety of theoretical and clinical approaches to the treatment of complex trauma” in children, adolescents, and their families. Traumatic stress occurs when children and adolescents are exposed to multiple traumatic events, and this exposure overwhelms their ability to cope with what they have experienced. The model allows for in-depth assessments of a child’s needs in order to tailor individualized treatment plans to achieve the best possible outcome. As early intervention is critical to long term health, the target focus of this program is on youth ages 5 to 18 and their family members/caregivers. At the conclusion of services, which is based on elimination of safety concerns, risk and decreases in symptomology, the youth can be stepped down to a less intensive program for ongoing care.

MCCC's Hope Initiative work includes providing services to an underprivileged, rural population of children and their families. The Hope Initiative focuses on providing education, counseling/therapy, psychiatric/psychological, and advocacy services to child and adolescent victims of traumatic events, along with their parent or non-offending caregiver when necessary. There is a barrier in our area and many people don't have access to treatment. Many people in our community don't have access to the transportation they need or have the funds to pay for their treatment. With our program, it provides people with the ability to receive the help they need/want, when they wouldn't have had the opportunity. In order to receive specialized treatment, most families have to drive an hour or more to get the help they need. Having the program in our rural area allows them to have more accessibility to mental health treatment, particularly trauma. Staff are trained in TF-CBT in order to provide treatment child trauma. Some staff are trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) to address trauma with younger children. We partner with our child advocacy center in our region in order to provide treatment and advocacy to those children who are at risk. We are community partners with the school system in one of the counties in our region and this allows us to provide education and services to those that may not know about the trauma program.
