Yale center for traumatic stress and recovery - the yale center for traumatic stress and recovery (yctsr), based in the child study center at the yale school of medicine, is a nationally recognized leader in developing, researching and training on acute, early child trauma interventions and treatment. Yctsr proposes wide-scale training on acute evidence-based treatment and service approaches, expanding implementation of these interventions and treatment applications to new service settings/underserved populations. Yctsr has developed, tested and trained on effective interventions that increase early identification and support of traumatized children and families when they have contact with child advocacy centers, pediatric emergency departments, and law enforcement agencies. These vital approaches to early identification increase access to early trauma-focused evidence-based treatments such as the child and family traumatic stress intervention (cftsi) and fathers for change (F4C), as well as longer-term trauma-focused ebts such as child parent psychotherapy (CPP) and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), when indicated. Building on two decades of participation in nctsn as a category II site, yctsr proposes to lead the ncstn in building acute/early/brief responses to child trauma through wide-scale dissemination of evidence-based treatment and service approaches, expanding implementation of early trauma interventions through five national learning communities (LC) focused on implementation in settings such as hospital and cacs, as well as organizations serving rural and tribal communities, those serving military families, and those serving young children. An international leader in developing and training on trauma-informed policing strategies for over three decades, yctsr also proposes to lead both local and network-wide trauma-informed policing efforts by consulting with centers about ways in which their communities can tailor approaches to improve and strengthen police responses to traumatized children and families. Yctsr will provide national training, technical assistance and consultation and will engage diverse stakeholders, consumers and family/community members in continuous quality improvement efforts to ensure that training curricula and dissemination strategies are culturally relevant and help to advance yctsr's mission of anti-racism and equity. Utilizing a variety of in-person and virtual methods, as well as through the development of web-based training products, thousands of clinical practitioners will receive training over the funding period. Specialized treatment applications will be developed, tested, refined and disseminated and numerous other products designed to support EBT implementation will be developed by the yctsr team. As a result of yctsr efforts, approximately 24,000 children and families will receive acute/early/brief interventions and approximately 14,000 multidisciplinary professionals will be trained to identify and refer for and provide, acute/early/brief interventions.
