THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Child/Youth Welfare, Mental Health, Traumatized Youth, Trauma
Deadline: Mar. 1, 2020
“The goal of the Children’s Initiative is to support direct service programs that promote resilience, stability, and pyscho-social health for youth ages 12 and above who have been traumatized by Adverse Childhood Experiences.
In order to be considered, programs must meet all of the following requirements.
- Directly serve youth who have been significantly traumatized by Adverse Childhood Experiences. Adverse Childhood Experiences include physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse or mental illness in the household, parental separation or divorce, incarceration of a household member, and physical or emotional neglect.
- Offer age-appropriate therapeutic interventions, activities, or services that promote resilience, stability, and psycho-social health in traumatized youth.
- Provide services that go beyond crisis intervention and the establishment of initial safety. Short-term shelter-based or crisis-oriented programs will not be funded.
- Include a plan for evaluating program effectiveness, with metrics that demonstrate the impact of the program on the participating youth.
- Enhance the relationship between the youth and at least one significant adult, such as a parent, primary caregiver or other adult with whom the youth has a meaningful and ideally long-term relationship.
- Be a new program for the organization, or a new therapeutic component to an existing program, currently in development or within its first year (from the date of application submission) of implementation.
- Use trauma informed practices and policies, and demonstrate a commitment to ongoing trauma training for involved staff.”
