The University of New Mexico's Addressing Childhood Trauma through Intervention, Outreach, and Networking III program (ACTION III) aims to provide and increase access to culturally responsive, trauma-focused treatment and services for New Mexico youth and their families who experience traumatic events. Specifically, the ACTION III goals include: 1) Initiate outreach to increase participation and access to youth trauma treatment and services, with an additional focus on youth and families who have experienced oppression-based trauma or come from historically underserved cultural groups. 2) Provide screening, assessment, therapy, and prevention for diverse and at-risk youth, using evidence-based practices for treating traumatic stress and evidence-informed strategies to address secondary traumatic stress (STS) for clinical providers. 3) Educate youth-serving service systems in New Mexico about trauma-informed care (TIC) and culturally responsive care, including New Mexico child welfare and UNM Hospital. 4) Collaborate with the Secondary Traumatic Stress Innovation and Solution Center to pilot TIC/STS interventions for UNM Children's Psychiatric Center. 5) Implement a project evaluation, including process and outcomes, to determine the accessibility and effectiveness of ACTION III services. ACTION III's population focus is youth ages 6-21 years old, living in the Albuquerque Metro Area, who experience traumatic events. We aim to serve 40-55 youth annually and provide trauma-focused services to 250 youth and their families over the lifetime of the project.
