  1. Framing the Issues: A Template for Systems Serving Traumatized Children Nancy Kassam-Adams, PhD; CHoP Sheryl Kataoka, MD; UCLA/LAUSD Susan Ko, PhD; NCCTS-UCLA

  2. Service Systems CoreMISSION • To promote the well-being of children and families by strengthening the ability of child-serving systems to identify and respond to traumatized children and their families by improving access to effective, developmentally-appropriate, and culturally competent, evidence-based interventions.

  3. Service Systems CoreVISION • Enhance awareness of child traumatic stress on the part of all child-serving systems • Expand access of children within various child-serving systems to effective, developmentally-appropriate, and culturally competent trauma assessment, intervention and treatment services; • Integrate a continuum of care for traumatized children and their families.

  4. Re-Cap of Service Systems Committee Meeting • August 25, 2003 in Falls Church, VA (CMHS) • Presented questions: • How do we expand access in a time of shrinking resources? • How do we define unserved & underserved populations of children? • How do we assess & measure unmet need? • What do we mean by the term“service system integration”? • How do we evaluate system change (e.g., functional outcomes vs. symptom reduction)? • Discussed definitions & indicators of access • Conclusions: different systems have different needs

  5. Re-Cap of Service Systems Committee Meeting • Discussed definitions & indicators of access • Logistical issues • Provider indicators • Appropriate & available array of resources • Politics & policy • Individual & family factors • Conclusions • Different systems have different needs • Need to identify areas of overlap & gaps
