Theiss Center for Child and Adolescent Trauma

In conjunction with the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, the Theiss Center is conducting two projects supported by concurrent grants from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The Complex Child & Adolescent Trauma Project (CCAT) is expanding the Center's reach and impact through training and networking throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania, informed through CCAT's participation in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). The Pittsburgh Early Attachment & Relationships Project (PEAR) provides training to the larger early childhood workforce focused on best practices and current knowledge in early childhood mental health.
