"NYU Langone Medical Center and KVC Health Systems, Inc. have collaborated to create the NYU Langone Medical Center & KVC Midwest Trauma Training Center. The Center is designed to serve youth and families in the Midwest by training psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, early childhood program administrators, educators, counselors, therapists, law enforcement, juvenile justice staff, nurses and anyone serving individuals who have experienced traumatic events.
“KVC is excited to partner with NYU Langone Medical Center, who are leaders in the field of treating traumatized children,” said Kelly McCauley, Director of Evidence Informed Initiatives at KVC Health Systems, Inc. “This new Trauma Center, which is the first of its kind in the Midwest, is important because it will provide training, backed up by cutting-edge edge research, on how to care for children who have had traumatic experiences. This ensures traumatized children have a better chance of healing, which leads to shorter stays in out-of-home care, increased placement stability, and improved wellbeing for children in the child welfare system....
”The NYU Langone/KVC Midwest Training Center is connected to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) through a grant funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)."
