Childhood trauma can have lasting impacts on mental health, yet access to evidence-based care remains limited for many children and families.

That’s why FCBHW is funding a project to expand access to trauma-informed care across Florida.

Led by the USF College of Behavioral & Community Sciences in partnership with the Florida Network of Children's Advocacy Centers, this initiative implements a stepped-care model that begins with a parent-led, therapist-assisted approach.

This model aims to enable more families to access care earlier, while ensuring clinicians can focus their time on children with the most intensive needs.

This project is part of FCBHW’s work to grow, retain and innovate Florida’s behavioral health workforce.
