A Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma
The Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma (CCCT) is designed to raise the standard of care nationwide for youth and families who have experienced trauma by raising the standard of education and training in core principles of childhood traumatic stress for their care providers.
A major initiative undertaken by the UCLA-Duke University National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS) and its partners in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the CCCT is being implemented across the US in settings that include community-based mental health centres; teaching hospitals; graduate schools; terminal undergraduate programs; and internship, residency, and post-doctoral training programs. Many sites that have adopted the CCCT implement it in conjunction with training on manualised interventions.
The CCCT is an experiential learning tool that engages learners in a small-group setting to discuss and reason through detailed case studies. The Curriculum uses a highly interactive problem-based approach to help learners acquire trauma-informed knowledge and critical reasoning, judgment, and decision-making skills. Instead of scripted lessons, the Curriculum contains various elements designed to be flexibly incorporated by trained facilitators to achieve specific learning objectives.
