Our Work
The National Center fulfills its mission by building the capacity of:
- Schools of social work to provide trauma-informed, evidence-based, child, adolescent, and family trauma treatment education and training;
- Social work students to become trauma-informed, evidence-based, culturally sensitive practitioners;
- Community agencies to provide trauma-informed services and evidence-based trauma treatment; and
- Field instructors to supervise students in delivering trauma-informed services and evidence-based trauma treatments.
