About us
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) was created by Congress in 2000 as part of the Children’s Health Act to raise the standard of care and increase access to services for children and families who experience or witness traumatic events. This unique network of frontline providers, family members, researchers, and national partners is committed to changing the course of children’s lives by improving their care and moving scientific gains quickly into practice across the U.S. The NCTSN is administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and coordinated by the UCLA-Duke University National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS), which guides NCTSN collaborative efforts. The NCTSN has grown from 17 funded centers in 2001 to 82 currently funded centers and over 130 affiliate (formerly funded) centers and individuals, working in hospitals, universities, and community based programs in 45 states and the District of Columbia.

Register for the upcoming NCTSN event, “Navigating Cross-Cultural Relationships in the Context of Developmental Trauma,” on Thursday, November 7, 2024 from 10:00 to 11:30 AM PT/1:00 to 2:30 PM ET. In this series, viewers experience how therapists handle critical turning points during dramatized therapy sessions and then watch multiple therapists review those sessions in case conferences. The topics covered in this series are layered and complex, with no “right answers.” They are a starting point to open up discussions on how to help children and families. In this session, Dr. Stephen P. Hydon meets with Anna and Nick, a young couple. Anna recently immigrated to the U.S. from war-torn Ukraine. Anna’s close relationship with her mother, who remains in Ukraine, is causing her to seriously consider returning home, despite the ongoing war. She has been struggling with guilt over leaving her mother behind. Register here: https://bit.ly/4fpyPJ0
