The purpose of the Trans Community Trauma Treatment Center for Children and Adolescents (TCTTC) is to provide a critical opportunity to expand and refine best practices for a population of young people that have a high rate of exposure to complex trauma. Improving our ability to appropriately identify, treat, and mitigate the complex trauma experienced by transgender and non-binary (TGNB) children and adolescents will have vast implications for their overall health and quality of life. The project will serve a minimum of 285 unduplicated TGNB across the five-year project. The project will bring together the expertise of leaders and staff from Children's Hospital Los Angeles and applies lessons learned from our 7 years of funding from the NCTSN and 8 years of involvement as an affiliate site and subawardee.The project has a unique opportunity to design trauma screening approaches and respond with the appropriate resources to address complex trauma in new, innovative ways that center TGNB children and adolescents and their resiliency. Goal 1: To expand available transgender-specific trauma treatment services for children and adolescents ¦ Objective 1.1: A minimum of 200 TGNB children and adolescents ages 10-21 will be screened annually for complex trauma; ¦ Objective 1.2: 100% of those that meet eligibility criteria will be referred to project services or linked to other appropriate services; ¦ Objective 1.3: A minimum of 60 eligible TGNB children and adolescents will enroll in TCTTC supported trauma treatment services annually and will receive an individualized treatment plan; ¦ Objective 1.4: A minimum of 80% of children and adolescents enrolled in treatment will complete a minimum of five sessions of individual or group level Narrative Exposure Therapy; ¦ Objective 1.5: >75% of participants completing at least five sessions will demonstrate increased resilience factors such as an understanding of their own strengths, and/or hopes for the future; and ¦ Objective 1.6: 70% of participants completing at least five sessions will report decrease in self-reported trauma symptoms. Goal 2: To engage in collaborative partnerships to support increased participation in, and access to trauma treatment services for TGNB children and adolescents ¦ Objective 2.1: Support a minimum of two capacity building initiatives targeting local and state level child serving agencies (e.g. child protective services, juvenile corrections, probation, department of mental health, local education agency) to increase their competency to serve TGNB children and adolescents; and ¦ Objective 2.1: Participate in established NCTSN workgroups to support increased access to trauma treatment services for TGNB children and adolescents.
