The University of Colorado Colorado Springs' National Child Trauma Workforce Institute (UCCS-NCTWI) will address the national child-serving workforce's need for foundational trauma training by providing training, consultation and technical assistance to mental health providers and Psychology and Child Psychiatry trainees to expand the use of the Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma (CCCT), an evidence-based trauma training curriculum. Specifically, the goals of UCCS-NCTWI are to 1) build the trauma response capacity of the US mental health workforce by expanding the number of trained CCCT facilitators across mental health disciplines; 2) integrate the CCCT into trauma education within Psychology and Child Psychiatry training programs and across the professional lifespan; and 3) increase the impact of CCCT training on improved trauma-informed clinical and organizational practices by expanding long-term evaluation and identifying key training components and strategies. Across the five years of the project, UCCS-NCTWI's measurable objectives include 1) training at least 6 new CCCT Faculty to deliver training, consultation, and technical assistance to new facilitators; 2) training at least 80 new CCCT facilitators via at least 10 trainings; 3) providing at least 50 ongoing training, consultation, and technical assistance opportunities for trained facilitators; 4) developing at least 5 general, 5 Psychology-specific, and 2 Child Psychiatry-specific trauma education materials; 5) cultivating 3 expert panels to guide CCCT expansion (Psychology Expert Panel, Child Psychiatry training program leaders, and Stakeholder Advisory Group to support expanded impact evaluation); 6) conducting at least 3 pilots of CCCT training integrated within Psychology education and 2 pilots within Child Psychiatry training, followed by delivering integrated CCCT training in at least 15 additional Psychology and 2 additional Child Psychiatry programs after training curricula are finalized; 7) promoting systematic integration of effective trauma education within both Psychology and Child Psychiatry training programs; 8) developing a Certificate of Childhood Trauma for Child Psychiatrists; 9) developing, piloting, and finalizing new impact evaluation tools; and 10) analyzing and publishing impact evaluation data. Annually, UCCS-NCTWI will 1) train an average of 16 new CCCT facilitators who will provide foundational trauma training to at least 256 mental health providers; and 2) deliver between 4 and 5 trainings integrated within Psychology and Child Psychiatry training programs reaching an additional 40 providers per year. Across the five years of the project, across all goals and objectives, UCCS-NCTWI will engage at least 16 experts across 3 expert panels (Stakeholder Advisory Group, Psychology Expert Panel, Child Psychiatry training program leaders); develop and disseminate at least 12 new trauma training products; train at least 80 new CCCT facilitators; and support the delivery of effective foundational trauma education to at least 1,500 mental health providers, Psychologists and Child Psychiatrists.
