has been awarded a 5-year听$2 million听grant from the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration for a collaborative project with the University听of Colorado Boulder鈥檚 . The aim is to increase the capacity to identify children and families who have experienced trauma and provide evidence-based trauma-focused treatment.听
The partnership also allows MHP to become a Community Treatment and Services Center in the prestigious National Child Traumatic Stress Network.
The joint听grant project, Building a Trauma Center of Excellence for Children and Families in Colorado: A Community-Academic Partnership, is a coordinated effort in which the Center for Study and Prevention of Violence will provide vital capacity-building training in trauma-informed evidence-based practices, including targeted interventions for Hispanic families, military families听and families involved in the child welfare systems.
Also, the project will lead to the development of a trauma-informed system at MHP to screen, assess听and provide trauma-focused treatment to children and families who have experienced trauma. It is expected the project will provide training and implementation support to more than 900 clinicians, as well as serve听over 3,100 clients at MHP.
