National Center for Children, Youth & Family Mental Health (NTTAC)
Project Description:
NTTAC is a SAMHSA-funded initiative to increase the access to, effectiveness of, and dissemination of evidence-based mental health services for children and youth (ages 0-21) with emotional or behavioral health challenges and their families. NTTAC supports building, expanding, and sustaining a system of care that is trauma informed and person centered. NTTAC is committed to equity, inclusion, and diversity, and we promote authentic partnership with youth and families. NTTAC is organized around six "Transformation Teams" that each provide trainings, technical assistance, and resources on a specific area of expertise.
These focus areas are:
• Infant & Early Childhood
• Youth & Young Adults of Transition Age
• Partnership for System Transformation
• Community Wellness & Peer Supports
• Clinical & Health Care
• School-based Services
The Transformation Teams are comprised of experienced clinicians, researchers, field leads, trainers, youth and family engagement advisers, and equity consultants.
