School Mental Health Initiative: Childhood Trauma Learning Collaborative (C-TLC)
 

Mental Health Resources for New England Educators: The C-TLC is a part of the New England Mental Health Technology Transfer Center’s (MHTTC) School Mental Health Initiative. The C-TLC  is designed to strengthen mental health supports that address the needs of children who have experienced/are at risk of experiencing significant trauma. The School Mental Health Initiative, which includes collaborations with Harvard University and C4 Innovations, provides training and technical assistance to school-based mental health professionals in the six states that are a part of the Region 1 grouping for activities: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Our aim is to enhance school culture and prepare school personnel to improve the mental health of school-aged children in the New England region.
