ChildTrauma

The ChildTrauma Academy is a not-for-profit organization based in Houston, Texas focused on education, service delivery and program consultation in the areas of child maltreatment.

Mission:  The mission of the Academy is to help improve the lives of traumatized and maltreated children.  We endeavor to improve the systems that educate, nurture, protect and enrich these children - through education, service delivery and program consultation.  We work to improve individual lives through clinical assessment and treatment.

Strategy: Essential to this process is the collaboration of all sectors of society. As such, we engage in a continuous process of identifying key partners, drawn from academia, the corporate world, private organizations and public sector systems. While each partnership has a distinct focus-- identifying best practices in child protection, evaluating the latest research in child development, defining optimal ways to provide resources to parents or creating a novel therapeutic approach with traumatized children-- all are engaged in the continuous process of testing, refining and distributing innovations that can improve the lives of children.*
