New Resources from The Finance Project
The Finance Project recently produced two publications that provide relevant and up-to-date information on federal funding sources and promising strategies to finance mental health supports and services for children and adolescents exposed to traumatic life events.
Finding Funding: A Guide to Federal Sources for Child Traumatic Stress and Other Trauma-Focused Initiatives click here
identifies 69 federal sources that can support a variety of supports and services for children exposed to trauma. The guide is designed to provide policy makers and Child Traumatic Stress program developers with critical information about the range of federal funding sources that are currently available and have the potential to support initiatives that develop, implement, and disseminate child trauma interventions. The guide identifies strategies that Child Traumatic Stress initiatives and other trauma-focused initiatives can implement to access a wide array of funding sources.
Thinking Broadly: Financing Strategies for Child Traumatic Stress Initiatives click here presents a conceptual framework for financing Child Traumatic Stress initiatives' work and a set of approaches that initiative leaders can implement to provide comprehensive and coordinated trauma supports and services. It presents general principles to guide the selection of financing strategies and outlines an array of approaches to finance interventions for traumatized children and adolescents. It also provides considerations to help initiative leaders select financing strategies that closely align with their program goals, available resources, and the political and economic environments in which they work.
