The Family Trauma Treatment program will continue to implement, evaluate, and disseminate Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for youth and their families experiencing traumatic stress in the Denver metropolitan area. Our primary objectives are: 1) to improve the quality, effectiveness, provision, and availability of therapeutic services delivered to children and adolescents who experience traumatic events and 2) to further the understanding among community first -responders on how to help prevent the occurrence of serious negative consequences of childhood trauma. To address the first objective, the proposed program would allow MHCD to increase the use of TF-CBT by implementing it among our school-based therapists, in addition to having MHCD's outpatient clinicians continue to use this best practice approach. Children will continueto be identified for trauma treatment as early as possible, through co-located staff at schools, shelters, and detention centers. And, data will be collected on trauma history and symptoms, as well as other child behaviors at three different points: 1) pre-therapy, 2) post-therapy or at six months, and 3) at six months follow-up to that. Data will be used internally, as well as sent electronically as a limited data set to the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS). To address the second objective, the proposed program would fund a Community Trauma Liaison. This liaison would spend significant amounts of time each month providing training and consultation to staff within the following agencies: 1) the Denver Police Department, 2) the Denver Department of Human Services, 3) Denver Public Schools, and 4) the Department of Youth Corrections. He/she will have individual or shared office space within each agency, as well as be available by cell phone, to meet and discuss trauma issues with agency staff two to four times each month.

NAAPIMHA is uniquely situated to bring together experts from around the country who will design, implement and evaluate a core curriculum that will be used to train interns at the masters and doctoral level as well as psychiatric residents. Lessons learned from this process will be used to provide technical assistance to emerging communities attempting to increase their capacity to provide culturally compete t services in the future. The core curriculum will be based on training programs at RAMS, Inc. in San Francisco, the Asian Counseling Referral Services, ACRS in Seattle, the Asian Pacific Development Center, APCD in Denver, Hale Na'au Pono in Waea'na , Hawaii and SF General Hospital in SF. A total of 8 psychiatric residents, and 3 graduate level interns will be trained during the first year. In addition, RAMS, Inc is the only training program in the country that focuses on AAPIs that has been accredited by the American Psychological Association and is seen as one of the leading training models for AAPIs in the country. Each site has been nationally recognized for their outstanding work on providing culturally competent service and represents t geographical and ethnic diversity found in the AAPI communities. It is important to the core curriculum in different settings as a one-size fits-all-model for types of agencies would not be appropriate. An important component of the proposal will be the long awaited establishment of a National AAPI Consumer's Advisory Council. This, plus the hiring of a consumer advocate, will help insure that

Peer Assistance Services will implement Team Awareness, a model drug free workplace program, with 16-24 year olds who are employed by Youth Corps programs in Colorado. The three participating communities, Denver, Durango, and Steamboat Springs represent diverse populations living in both urban and rural settings who are a significant risk for alcohol and other drug use, both on and off the job. They have dropped out of school, lack job skills, have a history of impulsive or acting out behaviors, which are characteristics that are correlated with heavy use of substances. They represent an employment population that are often considered as ''throw-aways'' by employers, easier to replace than to fix. Peer Assistance Services, the employee assistance program (EAP) for Youth Corps, formed a collaborative planning committee with the three Youth Corps programs in Colorado, the Colorado Drug Free Workplace Alliance, the Colorado Association of Alcohol and Drug Service Providers, the DEA, and other organizations to implement a model drug free workplace model with this high-risk population. The planning committee, which will evolve into the project steering committee, expects the successful of Team Awareness with the Colorado Youth Corps will lead to replication in the 113 other Youth Corps programs nationally, as well as in other employment settings that hire young, unskilled workers. Team Awareness, a model drug free workplace program, has been selected by the planning committee to implement with the Youth Corps employees. The focus of Team Awareness on building peer support through team building exercises is an ideal model for Youth Corps which places the young employees in teams that work together in construction, rehabbing homes, and other projects.
