The Trenton Health Team (THT) has received a two-year grant of $300,000 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to support a far-ranging educational and training program in trauma-informed care. This project will provide training for health care providers, emergency responders, and educators to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress in the Trenton community.
Through this grant, the Trenton Health Team will create a network of providers to improve communication and referrals for appropriate services within the community. A distinctive element is the special training that will be offered to public safety personnel, school officials, and other non-medical representatives.
The Trenton Health Team recently completed a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), conducted in collaboration with medical, governmental, behavioral, social service, educational, and faith-based organizations and agencies that serve the city of Trenton. According to Dr. Ruth Perry, executive director of THT, “The impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on so many within the Trenton community was evident in our CHNA community forums and our one-on-one meetings with residents.”
