Promoting mental health and social-emotional
development through trauma-informed training, research,
and implementation
of best practices.
Welcome
Welcome to our community for child and youth serving professionals, families, and child advocates. We believe youth and families in need of mental health and developmental supports deserve trauma-informed, evidence guided, and developmentally attuned services. Too often this is not the case. Our reason for being is to help fill that gap by providing research based tools and high-quality training to professionals, families, and youth serving agencies. We also provide technical assistance to agencies implementing and evaluating evidence supported interventions and treatment approaches.
