45.1 Transforming Access and Quality of Trauma Treatment in North Carolina

Abstract

Transforming access to and quality of mental health treatment for children exposed to serious trauma and adversity in North Carolina (NC) began with a pilot program from 2006 to 2009 followed by legislative annual funding in 2013. The aims were to develop and sustain an implementation platform that: 1) focuses on disseminating an array of 5 effective target treatments across NC for children and families exposed to child abuse/trauma; 2) promotes sustainability in diverse settings; and 3) utilizes implementation science to assure positive treatment outcomes.
