Abstract

The Atlas Project focuses on children and youth who are served by New York City Treatment Family Foster Care (TFFC) programs. The project’s goal is to address trauma experienced by TFFC clients by implementing systematic trauma screening and assessment, treatment decision-making tools, and trauma-informed mental health treatment. This paper describes components of the Atlas Project, initial experiences with implementation, and aspects of the project that can inform integration efforts.
