The Center for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPTS) addresses medical trauma in the lives of children and their families. Our objective is to reduce medical traumatic stress by promoting trauma-informed health care, integrating practical evidence-based tools into pediatric medical care, and ensuring that health care providers are knowledgeable and skilled in this area. Medical traumatic stress includes the psychological and physiological responses of children and their families to pain, injury, illness, medical procedures, and invasive or frightening treatment experiences. CPTS will provide leadership in the NCTSN regarding medical trauma, leading the Medical Trauma Working Group and further development of the Pediatric Medical Traumatic Stress Toolkit for Healthcare Providers. CPTS will also serve as a resource to NCTSN partners developing tools or protocols about other types of child trauma for health care providers or health care settings.

The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, in the Commonwealth's Department of Public Welfare, will be the lead organization. The Suicide Prevention in Primary Care project will build a youth (ages 14 to 24) suicide prevention program within the primary care medical system that will provide screening, assessment, family engagement, and linkage to treatment. This project will be piloted in three counties in Pennsylvania (Schuylkill, Lackawanna and Luzerne) that have some of the highest rates for suicide death and hospitalization for self injury in the state. The rationale of the study is as follows. A major challenge in suicide prevention work is locating adolescents before they attempt suicide. Fortunately, over 70% of adolescents see a physician at least once a year (US. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001), making primary care a potentially important gatekeeper for adolescent mental health (Johnson & Milstein, 2003, Presidents New Freedom Commission 2003). The project has five main objectives: 1) Create a partnership within each county consisting of policy makers, medical and behavioral health care providers, local suicide task forces, families, and local medical and behavioral health insurance companies. 2) Provide a youth suicide gatekeeper training program to participating pediatricians, family physicians, and nurse practitioners in the designated counties. 3) Provide medical practitioners in three counties free access to a web-based, patient self-report screening tool to assess for suicide and related risk factors. 4) Increase the integration, if not collocation, of behavioral health services with medical services. 5) Provide clinical training in best practice therapy models for suicidal youth to behavioral health providers who will receive referrals of these at-risk youth.

Pennsylvania Families Incorporated (PFI) was conceived with the priority of identifying the family support organizations in the 67 counties and establishing communication linkages. Today our Internet relay sends information to nearly 10,000 groups and individuals in our commonwealth daily. Activities are designed to empower and identify family, youth, and community leaders to participate on governing boards.
The success is rooted in PFO's deep conviction that each family organization has value. That value is derived from the individuals who came together as peers in thier own county with their unique culture and value system of what success would mean in the life of their child and family.
Counties will inquire about famiies who are available to participate in planning and policy development, we can send them a list of their constutuent groups. Through technical assistance, we share a model for inclusion and support for the family members as they devlop into their appropriate roles on committees and sustain their activity.
PFI represents the initial attempt of familiy members in Pennsylvania to identify, support, educate, and inform families of children with serious emotioal disturbance about issues important to them. Family organizations accross the commonwealth have the same level of fragmentation as the service systems that they are attached to. Parents were often more knowledgeable of alternatives because of their personal experience or because of the experience of those in their local support networks. Sharing or partnering among these groups was infrequent. Knowledge of state supported initiates for change were rarely widely recongized.

The Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force (PATF), in collaboration with Persad Center, Inc., the University Of Pittsburgh Graduate School Of Public Health Department Of Infectious Diseases And Microbiology, and the Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion, have developed the Partnership for Intervention and Empowerment (PIE) Project. It is the goal of PIE to strengthen partnerships with neighborhood communities in order to ignite and promote strategies that will reduce the risk and harm of Substance Abuse, HIV, and Hepatitis infections. We will reduce these risks by uniting the power and knowledge of community leaders with evidence-based prevention intervention tools. The project will take place in four subsidized housing communities within the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In accordance with SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework, we will conduct Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment and work with Tenant Councils to mobilize community members, not only for the purposes of implementation but also to inform the Needs Assessment. Information gained from the Needs Assessment will help us further define our target communities. Our approach will include a community-wide effort, addressing the needs of youth, women at risk, and the reentry population, which consists of female offenders, adjudicated delinquents, and men who have been previously incarcerated and are "living off the lease" in subsidized housing units. Evidence-based prevention interventions will be utilized, and will address substance abuse issues, HIV prevention, and Hepatitis infection in communities of color. HIV Rapid Testing and Hepatitis screenings will also be offered in community settings on an ongoing basis.

The Juvenile Treatment Court Expansion Program (JTCEP) builds on the early success of the Philadelphia Juvenile Treatment Court, which became operational in September 2004. Philadelphia Health Management Corporation (PHMC) is proposing to develop a new, family-focused, multi-component adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in the Kensington neighborhood of northeast Philadelphia to serve approximately 80 juvenile offenders referred through the proposed JTCEP. JTCEP will be unique in several ways. It will address a gap in the availability of outpatient treatment services for adolescents in an area with the highest number of juvenile drug arrests in Philadelphia. Second, the proposed IOP will incorporate empirically supported assessment and treatment models developed in the CSAT funded Cannabis Youth Treatment Study (Dennis et. al, 2002). These models will help Project staff to engage families in treatment, increase retention, and target mental health and trauma related symptoms as well as substance abuse delinquency. Third, JTCEP will include an innovative integration between a clinical service program and the juvenile justice system by expanding the role of the Probation Officer to include home-based case management, training in evidence-based treatment and case management models and increased communication and collaboration with the Clinical Treatment Team.
