Forecast synopsis
Chronic exposure to trauma from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as in cases of child abuse or neglect, can interfere with normal child development and can cause short and long-term harm to children's physical, social, and emotional well-being. Research has shown the more ACEs experienced, the greater the risk for negative outcomes in adulthood, such as poor physical and mental health, substance use, and risky behaviors. Because exposure to trauma from ACEs can have lifelong consequences, early screening and intervention is essential. Trauma-informed interventions are ones that provide an evidence-based framework for preventing, identifying, and addressing childhood trauma. While all children and youth in foster care have experienced trauma and benefit from trauma-informed interventions, children in care with complex mental, behavioral, and physical conditions have unique and compounding needs. This funding opportunity is to support demonstration project(s) to implement and evaluate innovative trauma-informed interventional programming for children and youth in foster care with complex needs. Programming can include evidence-based clinical services, foster parent training and curriculum, volunteer support services for foster parents, positive biological and birth family engagement to enhance family reunification, or enrichment activities for the children and trauma-informed systems work. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with demonstrated experience working with children in foster care who have experienced severe trauma. Applicants will include Institutional Review Board-approved research supported by content area and epidemiological experts. The projects will report regularly to ACF on findings, outcomes, and recommendations regarding sustainable funding and replicable programmatic models.
