    Interested in adding Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI) to your CAC’s menu of mental health services? NCA is offering a virtual CFTSI training April 10, 11, and 12, 2024, for clinicians. Senior CAC leaders and clinicians are encouraged to attend this call to learn about CFTSI, how it is delivered and the evidence-base that has -shown that 73% of children are less likely to meet partial or full criteria for PTSD after CFTSI. CFTSI is delivered in 5-8 sessions soon after the forensic interview and has been shown to help CACs shorten client length of stay, reduce waiting lists, and allow CACs to serve more children.
