Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

The center for trauma-responsive practice change leads statewide efforts to transform child- and family-serving systems through training, consultation, and systems-change initiatives grounded in the science of trauma, healing, and relational connection. In 2024, the center's largest program was the facilitation and expansion of the New Hampshire child-parent psychotherapy (cpp) provider network, a statewide initiative to promote access to evidence-based infant and early childhood mental health intervention. The network provided reflective consultation, professional development, and infrastructure support to a diverse group of licensed mental health providers and cross-sector stakeholders across the state.this year, the cpp provider network served 210 families and provided expedited referrals for 50 children, ensuring access to cpp within 30 days. The center trained 653 professionals in early childhood trauma and conducted three 18-month cpp learning collaboratives to expand provider capacity and fidelity to the model.additionally, the center partnered with law enforcement and community agencies to expand implementation of the adverse childhood experiences response team (acert) model across New Hampshire. Through tailored training and consultation, the center supported police departments and community responders in identifying and supporting children and families exposed to violence and other potentially traumatic events.the center also provided training and implementation support for schools adopting the miss kendra programs, a trauma-informed school-based intervention designed to build safety, emotional literacy, and resilience among elementary-aged children.
