The proposed project will build on the foundational work Bellevue Hospital has done over the last several years to infuse trauma-informed care into NYC juvenile detention settings.Reflecting NYC's long term efforts to reduce detention for youth, there has been a steady decline in placement in NYC secure (2 sites) and non-secure detentions (13 sites) settings. Bellevue Hospital Center's foundational work has focused on increasing the identification of traumatic exposure and PTSD in youth placed in both secure and non-secure detention settings through evidenced-based screening, and, in the two secure detention sites, enhancing the knowledge and skills of facility staff through Think Trauma training and ongoing staff skills building and increasing the coping skills of youth through the implementation of evidenced-based trauma skills groups (Brief STAIR-A). The current proposal seeks to enhance and expand on the work as follows: 1) the implementation of a NCTSN evidence-based trauma intervention (TARGET), which broadens our impact through the addition of T4 training for frontline staff, trauma skills groups suitable for longer stay youth, and importantly, the addition of trauma psycho-education groups for families of detained youth; 2) expansion into all 13 non-secure detention sites with Think Trauma training and T4 training for staff; 3) the development and implementation of a "Trauma-Informed Care Passport" to establish continuity of communication and care as detained traumatized youth transition to community care or placement; and 4) the implementation of systematic trauma screening and T4 training for the Westchester County juvenile secure detention facility.
