The Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago received a $1,799,301 grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program. The grant, titled "SUPPORTING PURPOSEFUL INTERVENTIONS & RESILIENCE IN TRAUMA (SPIRIT) PROGRAM: IMPLEMENTING TRAUMA-SPECIFIC SCREENING AND STRATIFIED INTERVENTIONS FOR YOUTH WITH A CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITION", will implement trauma-specific screening and stratified interventions for youth aged 8-18 with chronic medical conditions. The project aims to increase provider ability to identify trauma exposure, link youth to appropriate evidence-based treatments, and decrease trauma symptoms and impairment. The award will serve 150 youth and families in Year 1 and 1,250 over the 5-year project period, with 70% of participants expected to demonstrate clinically reliable improvement in functional impairment and post-traumatic stress symptoms. The project will also provide training on the intersection of trauma and chronic medical conditions for medical providers.
