FY20: The program therapist earned the Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) certification in March 2020. In the spring, the Therapist and SMCN Exectuive Director developed internal processes for progam intake and created outreach materials. Throughout the Summer, SMCN along with CCFN began promoting the program and the TF-CBT Model to partners, including the Calvert County Detention Center, Calvert County Public Schools, the Local Care Team, the Interagency Council, the Muti-Disciplinary Team and the Family Violence Council.  The program began accepting referrals August 30, 2020. 

TF-CBT is an evidence based practice that addresses the specific emotional and mental health needs of children, adolescents, adult survivors, and families who are struggling to overcome the effects of trauma. The modality is especially sensitive to the unique problems of youth with post-traumatic stress and mood disorders resulting from abuse, violence, or grief. TF-CBT often brings non-offending parents or other caregivers into treatment and incorporates principles of family therapy.
