Western

Trauma Recovery Initiative

Part of our Kugelman Counseling Program, this is a collaborative project of Children's Home Society of Florida and the Department of Child & Family Studies at the University of South Florida, in cooperation with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.

This program demonstrates and evaluates the effectiveness of sustainable, culturally competent, trauma-focused interventions and trauma-informed system approaches to ameliorate adverse consequences of complex trauma experiences for abused and neglected youth in foster care and out-of-home family care, along with youth and families at risk of entering the dependency system.

The TRI project focuses on how to address child and family trauma issues to promote stability, expedite permanency and prepare youth to successfully transition to independent living when they "age out" of foster care. The TRI program also demonstrates innovative approaches to trauma screening, training and treatment for foster parents, adoptive parents, relative and non-relative caregivers, and involvement of biological parents in the Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy intervention.

TRI serves abused and neglected adolescents ages 10-14 who have been removed or are at risk of removal from their homes by the protective services system and in out-of-home family care, including foster homes, therapeutic foster homes, relative care, non-relative care and adoptive families.
